Synopsis:
As the sole survivor of Baker Company, William David earned a Medal of Honor by holding off an entire squad of tanks. After his reassignment to Easy Company, David has lost his nerve. Sgt. Rock tries to restore the hero's confidence, but several attempts fails. Finally, Corporal David shows his courage by taking a bazooka into the swamp to stop a squad of German tanks. David is killed in combat, but not before he passes on his Medal of Honor to his brother, Bright-Eyes.
