Chapter 20

Henry and Wilson are arguing over who should take the flag and Henry wins the argument and takes it. They have lost a lot of men and their lieutenants were telling them to do many things. They huddled in a circle and it seemed that they were being fired upon from every direction. Henry when to the middle and held the flag with great honor. They then saw that an enemy regiment was charging them. They weren't shooting just marching at them. So they fired at the enemy regiment. Wilson looked and Henry and shouted that they were going to die for sure but Henry said no way. After the smoke cleared they saw that they enemy regiment had retreated and they had all earned their manhood. Why were they being shot at from all directions, wouldn't they be able to go back where they came from?
