The Pacific/Heartwarming

"Vera: Why me? Why not Rita Hayworth or Betty Grable? Leckie: Because I know you."
 * Sid happily tackling Gene when they are reunited on the island (also a Crowning Moment of Funny when they are 'busted' by Captain Ack-Ack and Hillbilly and react very nervously)
 * The scene where Gene receives a letter that his dog has died and Snafu tries to comfort him, leaning against his shoulder
 * Chuckler's gentle "aww, buddy" when he sees that Leckie is sick again
 * Can we just say Chuckler in general? Though it's more prevalent in Leckie's memoir, he was basically the Team Mom of Leckie's gang, and had more than a few sweet moments when it came to the boys.
 * wedding, and basically everything about them
 * Leckie bonding with Stella's family in Melbourne
 * Sid visiting Gene's parents after being shipped home and assuring them (rather untruthfully) that he wasn't worried about Gene's safety because he was with good men
 * Gene coming home to his parents
 * Snafu awkwardly thanking a departing Burgie "for doin' all you did to keep us from gettin' our fools heads shot off" on the train home
 * Leckie and Vera's awkward-but-sweet date once he returns home, especially considering that

"Leckie: (tearing up) I tried to get a Corpsman. I tried to get back to you. Runner: I know. Lucky? (Leckie looks at him) I know."
 * Sid asking Gene to
 * Lieutenant Colonel Lewis "Chesty" Puller saluting Basilone when he gets the Medal of Honor (Basilone said in real life that it was one of the proudest moments of his life)
 * Runner calling Leckie Peaches Also when Leckie starts to get choked up while explaining that he meant to come back for Runner, but couldn't, and Runner tells him that he understands.


 * Captain Ack-Ack admitting that he's comforted by the thought that his father, who manages a textile mill that makes fabric for the Military, had something to do with the blankets he and his men sleep in.
 * Snafu dubbing Sledge "Sledgehammer" and Bill Leyden "Ball-Peen Hammer" (See The Nicknamer), showing that he accepts them into The Squad. Also counts as a Crowning Moment of Funny.
