He was in a landing craft, rising and falling on a grey, heaving sea. Elias—young Elias—stood beside him, gripping an M1 Garand. Leo never installed a cracked game again

"Pointe du Hoc," Elias replied, not looking at him. "The day after D-Day. The rangers thought they'd silenced the guns. They were wrong."
