...soldiers pulls into town. The village church gets shot up something awful and most of the Japs get what's coming to them and those Ty hasn't had a chance to kill yet get in their truck and go away just as the sky begins to buzz with hundreds and hundreds of American planes and it looks like MacArthur was right when he said "I shall return" and sure enough he does return or anyhow somebody wearing stars and dark glasses rides through town on a jeep waving and everybody is yelling and waving American flags...
