5 “Your son is here,” she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened. The medicine he had been given because of the pain from his heart attack made his eyes weak and he only dimly saw the young man in Marine Crops uniform standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his strong fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement. The nurse brought a chair, so the Marine could sit by the bed.

6 Nights are long in hospitals, but all through the night the young Marine sat there in the dimly-lit ward, holding the old man's hand and offering words of hope and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine rest for a while. He refused.

7 Whenever the nurse suggested that the Marine was there, but he paid no attention to her and the night noise of the hospital-the clanking(发出丁当声) of an oxygen tank, the laughter of night-staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans and snores of other patients. Now and then she heard him say nothing, only held tightly to his son through most of the night.

8 It was nearly dawn when the patient died. The Marine placed on the bed the lifeless hand he had been holding, and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he smoked a cigarette-his first since he got to the hospital.

9 Finally, she returned to the nurse's station, where he was waiting. She started to offer words of sympathy，but the Marine interrupted her. “Who was that man?” he asked.

10 “He was your father,” she answered, startled.

11 “No, he wasn’t,” the Marine replied. “I never saw him before in my life.”

12 “Why didn’t you say something when I took you to him?” the nurse asked.

13 “I knew immediately there'd been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn't here. When I realized he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, I guessed he really needed me. So I stayed.”

14 With that, the Marine turned and left the hospital. Two days later a message came in from the North Carolina Marine Corps base informing the Brookly Red Cross that the real son was on his way to Brooklyn for his father's funeral. It turned out there had been two Marines with the same name and simila numbers in the camp. Someone in the personel(人事部) office had pulled out the wrong record.

15 But the wrong Marine had become the right son at the right time. And he proved, in a very human way, that there are people who care what happens to their fellow men.
