Whenever Scott Pendleton Collins walks in a room, you can see in his piercing blue eyes how confused he is and by his scraggly beard his lack of sleep. Because he is so active, he has rapidly grown in size since setting foot on the beaches of Normandy, but he is still a "stick" compared to the rest of his army buddies. His army clothes look like he was attacked by a lion and then took a bath in mud. He is a picture of a typical soldier.
You can see that all this 17 year old boy wants is to be as good a man as his father and his father's father. He wants to fight in the war and earn his "picture on the wall,'' where his father and his father's father photos were placed in the hallway of his house, as remembrance of being war heroes. On the battlefield he would never leave a friend behind. He always fought with great courage in defending his country and his loved ones .
