And you may be correct. We don't know. Unless Mommy supplies a written letter from her son, I don't think we will know, do you?
But let's just take a little ol' peek at the evidence that is available.
He was a smart, determined boy else he could never have earned his Eagle Scout.
He voluntarily enlisted.
He died in action.
Is there any evidence in any of that to suggest he was the kind of man who lived his life through conviction, honor and duty? I think so.
Is there any evidence to suggest that he had or would change his mind and quail in the face of danger?
