Quote #10
On the wall behind him hung plaques in neat rows announcing his various awards and honors, and directly over his head was the 1st Cavalry insignia, needlepointed and framed by my mother. (15.12)
Her dad's desk shows off his military prowess, and frankly, intimidates us a little bit. Gulp. Jamie looks at her dad's awards and thinks of him as a colonel, not her dad. It's important that we get to see how brave and respected the Colonel is because it shows us a different side of war that Jamie is more familiar with.
