Left Behind

Hours after Radar received the news about Henrys plane, he retreated to his cot to cuddle with Teddy. As he lay down something poked him from under his pillow.
He lifted up his pillow to discover what it was.
He walked into the SWAMP minutes later. Startling the two surgeons who had just fallen asleep.
"What is it Radar?" Trapper asked, seeing him enter first.
Hawkeye turned over to look at the young boy.
Radar lifted the fishing hat that was in his right hand…
"Colonel Blake left this…" Was all he could say before beginning to cry.
Trapper and Hawkeye both exchanged glances and stood up to console their friend.
"I can't…I can't believe it…I just can't…" Radar muttered in between his sobs.
The two surgeons eyes forcing tears to fall as well.
In the next few moments that passed, neither of the three could take their focus off of that hat…
And so it was for the rest of their time in Korea…except the hat suddenly symbolized all the fine soldiers that turned into tragedies…
