On the morning after Ted Lavender died, First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross crouched at the bottom of his foxhole and burned Martha's letters. Then he burned the two photographs. There was a steady rain falling, which made it difficult, but he used heat tabs and sterno to build a small fire, screening it with his body holding the photographs over the tight blue flame with the tip of his fingers. He realized it was only a gesture. Stupid, he thought. Sentimental, too, but mostly just stupid. (23) -- O'Brien, Tim. The things They Carried. New York:Broadway Books, 1990.
