劇情大意：
本集故事真可以「刻骨鉻心」形容，令人想起詩聖杜甫千古絕唱『春望』之名句：「烽火連三月，家書抵萬金」。戰爭的恐怖與殘酷在本集中表露無遺。烽火連連，眾軍士懷抱馬革裹屍的愛國熱忱時刻與死亡擦身而過…家人、希望、未來，無一不在自我心中掛念。烽火之中，家書無價。劇中蒙妮卡撫慰傷兵艾迪，相信其致妻家書將受妻珍藏之言，表現出李白之『子夜秋歌』所言：「何日平胡虜，良人罷遠征」的切切期盼。兩軍交鋒，相擊慘烈之時，蒙妮卡掩耳高聲朗誦詩篇第27篇的一幕，更是全劇高潮之一。生命關頭中，除上帝之外，別無希望與拯救。的確，雖有軍兵安營攻打，我心確不害怕；雖有刀劍向我出擊，我心猶原安定…
二次大戰諾曼第登陸之後，一班士兵在戰場與指揮部失去連絡。班長華克努力鼓舞部屬，莫妮卡也現身協助。班上士兵知道存活機率很低，約定生存者要將袍澤的遺書送予家屬。士兵接連陣亡，最後只剩下喬與艾迪。艾迪負重傷發現大夥兒的遺書忘記攜出，喬卻不願冒生命危險取回。經莫妮卡開導，使喬了解為何而戰找到正確的方向。舉目無親的喬，也為一名朋友留下遺書，成為這名朋友畢生收藏的珍寶…烽火連三月，家書抵萬金…韶光飛逝，年華老去，白頭搔更短，渾欲不勝簪的現實與無奈中，無錄相續但將留於心的愛情與友情，其價更勝潦潦數頁的家書…

In July of 1944, a month after D-Day, a small squad of American soldiers make their way through the deadly battlefields of Normandy, part of the attempt by the Allied forces to re-claim France. Led by Sergeant Walker, the men are weary, and anything but unified. Cynical Private Joe Faraday takes bets on how many casualties there will be at the end of each day. Private Eddie Rourke, full of optimism, is constantly at odds with Joe. Privates Nick Dante and Homer Stucky comprise the rest of the squad. Monica, on a Search and Rescue mission, watches over the men unseen. Through a flashback, we learn that the feud between Eddie and Joe began several months earlier, in an Allied canteen. Joe is upset to find Eddie dancing with Stella, a USO hostess whom Joe considers his girl. Stella isn't interested in Joe and tries to let him down easy. Tess, a USO singer, tells Monica that she is assigned to Joe, that she must help him decide to become a hero. Back on the battlefield as the combat quiets down, the squad discovers Monica comforting a dying German soldier and they take her prisoner. Just then, Sergeant Walker is shot and dies. The squad holds Monica partially responsible, and Joe wants to execute her, but cooler heads prevail. Homer, in a panic, tries to radio HQ, but accidentally uses a German radio revealing their position. Knowing that they are now sitting ducks, Monica encourages the men to write letters to their loved ones, and to make a pact that whoever survives will deliver them. All agree except for Joe, who recalls the night in the canteen when, rejected by Stella, he tries to hit Eddie, but Eddie knocks him down first. At this moment the air raid sirens sound, signaling for everyone to take cover. As the crowds gather in the London underground , Joe meets a small boy named Rupert, with a birdcage, who is lost. Joe is shaken out of this memory by the news that a German tank is approaching. Monica prays, but Homer and Nick fall, and Eddie is wounded. Monica and Joe help Eddie to a farmhouse where he realizes that they left the letters behind. He pleads with Joe to find them, but Joe refuses. Eddie tells Joe that he and Stella were married the night before they shipped out, but Joe tells Eddie that Stella married him too, so that she could cash his paycheck. Monica slaps Joe for the lie and reveals herself to Eddie, telling him the truth before he dies. Later, Monica reveals herself to Joe, telling him that God loves him, but that his moral compass is broken. She tells him about the greatest love -- laying down your life for your friends. Joe goes to find the letters and, instead, finds Andrew digging graves for the dead
soldiers, and Andrew gives him the letters. When he brings them back to Monica, she promises to deliver them. Joe admits that he feels like he's finally done something important. As he rejoices, he is shot by a German soldier. As he dies, Monica helps him compose a letter to Rupert. Joe writes that he fought this war for him, and for the generations to follow. Fifty years later, Monica enters a small London pet shop and comments on its beautiful birdcage. The old proprietor, Rupert, tells her the story of the birdcage, and shows her a framed letter from a soldier, the letter from Joe.
