Shines the name of Rodger Young …

“Come back here!”  The Lieutenant shouted.  “It’s suicide.”  The young private ignored the lieutenant’s concern.  If someone didn’t knock out that enemy gun, the entire patrol would probably die.  “Come back Private Young….THAT’S an ORDER!”  The lieutenant shouted again.

For a moment the young private paused, turned to look back at his lieutenant….and smiled.  “I’m sorry sir,” he said.  Then he smiled again.  “You know sir, I don’t hear very well.”  And then Rodger Young turned away from his lieutenant to continue crawling forward.
