[Choozoo tells Jones about the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge]

Stitch Jones:
I ain't never heard of no Heartbreak Ridge.

Choozoo:
It ain't in any of the history books. Just a little piece of war. Hell, the place didn't even have a name; just a number. Stony Jackson took one look up and said, "Ladies, if it don't kill us, it'll surely break our hearts."

Stitch Jones:

Choozoo:
He was our platoon sergeant. He was the one recommended Highway for his Congressional Medal of Honor.

Stitch Jones:
Gunny Highway won the CMH?

Choozoo:
He charged two machine gun nests by himself. Didn't sleep for three days. The final human wave, he held off almost singlehandedly. When it was over, there's me, Stony Jackson, Tom Highway. We're the only ones still alive.
