Synopsis:
Sgt. Rock loses his nerve in the field and freezes during an enemy aerial attack. The rest of Easy Company thinks Rock is standing still and bravely facing the enemy. They rally to shoot down the attacking fighters. Sparrow, a recent replacement in Easy, is wounded in the fight.

When another wave of attackers track Easy, Rock heads for the river carrying Sparrow. The soldier believes in Rock and gives Rock courage to continue. When they are ambushed by enemy troops, Sparrow bravely tries to defeat a German tiger tank. Rock regains his wits and destroys the tank himself, saving them both.
