Epilogue: Better Days Ahead
Old Hawkins did the same cry as he did when his second friend passed away. His wife, Karen, comforted him and Hawkins' grandson, Hawkins II handed him two bouquets of roses. Hawkins put the first bouquet of white roses on Leonard's grave and the other on Jim's. Simon's body was never found and people believed that German U-boats sank the vessel his body was on. The pastor's family back in Paris received the letter and regarded him as an all-time hero from then on. Hawkins, now a retired Brigadier General himself stood back and saluted to his friends. The General made his way out of the cemetery along with his family while carrying his grandson.
"Grandpa, are they the best friends you ever had?" Hawkins' grandson asked.
"Oh yes, my son." Replied the old man dressed in his green uniform pinned with many medals for his courageous deeds and service.
