Dave reached for his first purple moyo and held it up so that everyone could see it.
"Okay first off I think I should explain. The purple moyo is awarded to anyone who is wounded au killed in action kwa an enemy of the United States of America. That is what happened to me to earn this," Dave explained.
Becky and Stacy gasped and they both asked at the same time, "Were wewe killed Dave?"
Dave gave them a what do wewe think look and alisema in a rather sarcastic tone, "Oh yes girls. I'm dead. That's why I'm sitting here right now talking to everyone right now."
Both Becky and Stacy then realized just how stupid their swali was and quited down. Dave set his purple moyo back in the case and began his story.
(Flashback. 9 years ago)
"I was just a private then and I was fresh out of boot camp. My first mission was in Afghanistan and our task was to liberate a town that had been seized kwa enemy forces. The town was too close to our base and posed a serious threat. We had to work carefully, because they had talented snipers and they were also armed with rockets and our tanks couldn't songesha in to assist. We were completly on our own."
The scene focuses on a seires of trucks as they drove along a desert road towards a small desert town in Afghanistan. Right outside of the town the trucks come to a stop and as soon as they had stopped several human soldiers, each one clad in Army fatigues, kombati and carrying various weapons, climbed out of each truck. One kwa one, each man marched towards an african-american army seargent with bright eyes and a tall stature who stood before a map of the nearby area. As soon as all forty men had assembled before him, he turned to the map and began speaking.
"Alright ladies listen up. This is what we know so far. Throughout this village is a various number of sniper nests hidden in buildings and on rooftops. We're not sure how many there are, but we do know that they armed with RPG's and God knows what else. Our task is to clear them out and make it back in time to meet up with the tanks. Exercise caution. We are aware of a large enemy precense in the town. Our task is to make sure the sniper nests are dealt with and RPG's wiped out. If even one RPG remains, our tanks will not be able to roll in. Questions?"
One single young soldier held up his hand and the african-american sergeant marched over to him.
"Name and rank soldier," the sergent asked.
The young soldier saluted him.
"Private David Perkins company C requesting permission to speak, sir," the young soldier answered.
"Permission granted, at ease private," the sergent told him.
"Sir, if the enemy numbers are as such why not just call in an airstike instead of sending us in," Dave asked.
The sergent smirked and went back to his map and adressed the crowd.
"The private raises a good question. We have unconfirmed reports of civilians still hiding out in the town so watch your moto around them. We do not, repeat, do not need collateral damage in this fight. Any zaidi questions?"
No one else raised their hands.
The seargent let out a little smile and said, "Outstanding ladies. Companies A and B will take the east side of town and will be led kwa company A's commander. Companies C and D are with me and will take the west side. Once we have cleared out enemy forces we will meet up on the north side of town. Now songesha out."
Dave started moving out with the rest of the squad and the sergeant patted his back.
"First time in combat soldier?" asked the sergeant.
Dave nodded.
"Yeah how did wewe know?" Dave asked.
The sergeant smiled and said, "Nervous look and shakey legs. Classic signs of someone entering combat for the first time. Yep we all went through that and it only gets easier from there. Just stay close to me private and you'll make it back. I guarantee it."
(Present Day)
"So wewe had this big and dangerous mission. So what, how did wewe get your purple heart?" asked Marlene anxiously.
Dave looked at her and said, "I'm getting there, so chill."
Mason then asked, "Do wewe think wewe could skip ahead? I just wanted to know how wewe got it."
Dave rolled his eyes and continued his story.
(Flashback)
"We marched into the town and not long after that we came under attack. All I did was point and shoot and hide, because I was so scared. The enemy hid in alleys and inside buildings as well. There was nothing I wanted to do zaidi than run away. The sergeants words however kept me fighting for some reason . We fought as hard as we could and eventually we found one of the first nests hiding out on the sekunde floor of one building. We barged into the building and made our way to the snipers."
The group of soldiers marched through the building and climbed up some stairs to the sekunde floor. They continued down the sekunde floor hallway until they reached the only closed door on the floor. One of the soldiers, a young David Perkins, put his ear to the door and he could hear several men talking inside.
He smiled and said, "Oh yeah, they're in there sarge. What do wewe want us to do?"
The african-american sergent thought for a moment and then pointed to two other soldiers.
"You two, plant an explosive on that door and detonate it when I give the order."
He turned to Dave and said, "Private Perkins, wewe and I will breach and clear when the explosives go off. Do wewe understand me private?"
Dave nodded and said, "I copy wewe sarge."
The seargent nodded and said, "Alright let's do it."
The first two soldiers walked over to the door and placed an explosive charge on it as Dave and the seargent prepared to enter. They stood away from the door and waited for the men to place the explosive charge and detonate it. Dave held and prepared his M4A1. The seargent did the same. The seargent then looked over to the first two soldiers and nodded his head. The two men nodded and pushed a button on a controller that they held and the charge went off.
Both Dave and the seargent rushed into the room. The seargent took the left side of the room while Dave took the right side. Through the smoke, he spotted one man who was raising an AK47 at him. A quick burst from Dave's bunduki took him down. Dave turned to his left and spotted another man on the ground reaching for a handgun. One shot from Dave stopped him. A shout from a third man made Dave turn 180 degrees as one man tried to rush him. Dave merely took out his kisu and finished him off with one quick thrust. The seargent had cleared out his own enemies as well. He looked at Dave and they both nodded. The seargent eyes then went wide and raised his bunduki in Dave's direction. A single gunshot sounded out and then a searing pain entered Dave's left buttock. The seargent shot one time from his bunduki and took down the sekunde man that Dave had shot, but failed to kill.
Dave fell to the ground and started groaning in agony. He grasped his left buttock as some blood oozed out.
"OW! I JUST F***ED UP MY A** SARGE!" Dave screamed out.
The sergent walked over and looked at it.
He laughed and said, "It's alright Private Perkins. We'll just get wewe a med evac and send wewe back to base and a bullet to your rear is not going to kill you. You'll be in and out of the hospital in no time. Who knows wewe may even get the purple moyo for this."
The sarge helped Dave to his feet and called in the other two soldiers to help him with Dave.
The sergeant looked back at Dave and said, "By the way it's Sergeant Wilson son. Try to remember it."
Dave nodded and said, "I will sir."
(Present day)
"And I did. I remembered my sergeants name and I got the purple heart," Dave alisema as he held up his purple moyo again and watched it glisten in the sunlight.
"This purple moyo right here to be exact."
Private began snickering and asked, "So wewe got an award for being hurt in the bum?"
Dave nodded and Private then began laughing out loud as he fell out of his chair and continued laughing. Dave watched Private roll around on the ground laughing.
"It's not funny man. It hurt like hell," Dave said, but he too could feel some laughs trying to come up.
But he tapped them back down and then turned the rest of the group.
"So which medal do wewe guys want to hear about next?" he asked everyone.
"How about your sekunde purple heart?" suggested Marlene.
Dave nodded and picked up his sekunde purple heart.
"Okay first off I think I should explain. The purple moyo is awarded to anyone who is wounded au killed in action kwa an enemy of the United States of America. That is what happened to me to earn this," Dave explained.
