Page 152 - 100 Hours to Destiny

Nightfall came before we were given the word we had all hoped to
get. We wanted to get into Kuwait City, but Battalion still had us standing by.
The excitement of the day had faded with the knowledge that
Kuwaiti people were returning home, the Kuwaiti Resistance was in the City
celebrating the victory and we were still here on the outskirts…. just
bystanders… after coming so far.
Somewhere in the night the anticipation of what would come the
next day for Delta Company helped to rejuvenate my excitement. After all,
we knew it was over… and we did not lose even one Delta Marine after S-2s
visit. 0%!! It felt good to know my brother Marines, Commanders and I were
all safe….and going home!
