"We loved every single bite." Ray Leopold remembers his chocolate-covered roast beef.
With their chow truck blown up, soldiers lined up at food cans spaced 40 to 50 feet apart, so a single shell couldn't kill a whole group. Waterbury medic Ray Leopold recalls every step of the meal: toast, magnificent roast beef, gravy, peas and carrots, and then a scoop of chocolate pudding over all of it.
