Upbeat and optimistic, the young soldier easily makes friends with his fellow GIs. He longs to hear more from his detached Mother, but finds a lifeline in writing regularly to his hometown sweetheart.

She becomes politicized after watching the horrific images and news reports of the war on TV, and joins an anti-war protest group, where she finds her voice.

American marine from Detroit who is burdened with a sense of family duty and living up to rigid expectations of his parents.
