:44:01
I bought Karen a ticket.
:44:04
It was a short ride.
:44:06
But when she came down...
:44:09
Well, I don't think
she ever came down, actually.
:44:12
She showed up
at the dinner table one day,
:44:17
just after she finished TCU.
:44:20
She's joined the Army.
:44:21
She wants to fly helicopters.
:44:23
She's real stubborn about it, too.
:44:25
That's our Karen, you know, stubborn.
:44:27
So is Anne Marie here.
:44:32
Come here, honey.
:44:33
Excuse me.
:44:41
Uh, the young men,
:44:42
the ones that came to tell us about Karen...
:44:47
they were dressed just like you.
:44:49
Oh, I see.
:44:52
Major Teegarden,
:44:53
her commanding officer, he came, too,
when he came back from the Gulf.
:44:58
Brought this photo back for Anne Marie.
:45:02
Meant a lot to us...
:45:04
him coming to see us,
:45:06
telling us in person how Karen died.
:45:09
I lost men over there, too.
:45:12
I spoke to the major.
:45:14
Everybody thought the world
of your daughter. So did Specialist Ilario.
:45:20
It would sure help if I could see her letter.
:45:22
I mean, if it's not too private.
:45:24
Letter?
:45:25
From Ilario?
:45:29
I'll check my notes. Must be my mistake.
:45:32
This her husband here?
:45:33
No. That's Karen's older brother Billy.
:45:36
Her husband's up in Michigan.
:45:41
He and Karen divorced
after only a year or so.
:45:44
He never... well, it was no picnic.
:45:48
Karen raised Anne Marie on her own.
:45:51
We'd have been thrilled
to have Anne Marie with us all the time,
:45:55
what with the Army and all.
:45:57
But Karen was a real good mom.
