Their Eyes Were Watching God- Journal #2

Donald had been anxiously waiting for this day. The day that Robert finally reveals what happened on that fateful day in 1944 when he lost his leg. Donald awaited with eager eyes and open ears thirsting for knowledge. Robert wasn't allowed to share any of his war stories until 40 years after the war. A young and limber 20 year old man during the second world war, Robert was in one of the infantry divisioins that was involved in storming Normandy Beach on D-Day.Robert took a deep breath as he began his story.
"Why yuh wants to know how I luhsts my laeg?" asked Robert.
"It's nots justs yuh laeg sir, I wants to laearn whats it's like to bae in the army.
"I have been dreamin since I was taen to follow in my grandfather's footsteps and join the army," Donald answered with rising excitement in his voice.
Robert's became a slit as he barely muttered: "It's a brotherhood theat yuh will bae ea part of thae rest of yuh life. But yuh have to bae willin to put yuh life on thae line fo any of the men yuh're fightin wit. Are you willin to fulfill this duty?"
"SIR YES SIR!" Donald yelled at the top of his Lungs, as shivers ran down his back in excitement. Donald's eyes grew wide as the graphic story unfolded through Robert's voice.
