synopsis
Sal Mineo guest stars as Private Larry Kogan, who bears witness when Sgt. Saunders (Vic Morrow) is trapped under a fallen beam during an enemy attack. Though he has plenty of time to pull Saunders out, Kogan panics and runs away--then reports to Lt. Hanley (Rick Jason) that the sergeant has been killed. By episode's end, however, Kogan has experienced an epiphany, risking his own life by heading back into occupied territory to rescue Saunders.
