Sometimes a parents love for their child is so profound that it eclipses everything they do.

This article is about the father of one of Eddie's platoon mates. Click here. What impresses me most were the comments he made about his children.

I was reading about this because this guy is so very nice to me and the boys whenever he sees us. He pays special attention to Avery. Only one of Eddie's other platoon soldiers will acknowledge us when we are around.

Ironically, both are the men I have written about. They are the two platoon members who people make fun of, give a hard time and to whom aren't very nice.
