From a vantage point by our foxhole where he could look down to the heavy 30's and to the right where he could see the marching enemy, he began to direct the machine gunners by watching the red tracers arch the tremendous distance toward the target. When the first enemy fell., the short bursts became deadly effective steady sound of Mr. Browning's product. The enemy could be seem falling and others desperately trying to evade the rain of death. The odds were lower thanks to Campbell and the heavy 30's.

The battle really never ceased for us as the point of the 5th and 7th Regiments column reached Fox Hill and Davis' incredible detail arrived overland, a lone helicopter hovered overhead preparing to pick up the wounded. A distant sound of machine gun fire was heard. The copter went out of control and crashed beside the aid tent. The bodies of the crew were added to those of Fox Company.

Fox Company struck their positions and moved their wounded and dead down the icy hillside. Of the original 240 men some 80 were left. This time the taxies served only the wounded who could not walk and the dead. The 80 were proud to join the column of the best as they were joining with equals. They had held the pass.
