I think that it was very noble and honorable for Lieutenant Jimmy Cross to make sure that Kiowa's body was found and sent home after he died.It was so respectable for Kiowa's fellow soldiers to put so much effort into searching for him and recovering his body. He and the rest of his platoon could have simply forgotten about Kiowa. They could have moved forward and gone on with the war. Taking that path would have been so much easier, but the soldiers knew that Kiowa deserved better. I think that everyone there was so passionate about finding Kiowa's body and sending it home because he was such a good person. Like I mentioned in one of my previous blogs, Kiowa was a smart, kind, and decent soldier and friend throughout the course of the entire war. It was sad to see him go, but it was comforting to know that his body was safe now and that his family would have closure. Kiowa was always doing the right thing, and I think the soldiers who recovered his body that day were repaying him by doing the right thing as well.
"...but he was now determined to find his man, no matter what, even it it meant flying in slabs of concrete and damming up the river and draining the entire field. He would not lose a member of his command like this. It wasn't right."
