“I remember everything else: her voice, her hair, how she walked.”  The special forces solider paced the hospital room.  ”But I can’t remember her face.”

The Colonel watched sadly, remembering his own painful revelation.  ”You don’t have a wife, Sergeant.  You can’t remember her face because the explosion damaged your hard drive.”
