[ WP ] A soldier on the front dies in the middle of writing a letter home . It is finished and sent by the man who killed him .

Hey Mom 
 
 Not sure if you got my last letter. It's been a while. so I figured I'd send another, in case it got lost in transition or something. I know I send a lot of these, but I really do like hearing from you. 
 
 If you did n't get it, I asked about Patrick. He started at the UC a month or so ago, yeah? I asked how he's getting used to it - but he's a smart kid, he's probably transitioned well by now. Is he still going through with engineering thing? He was thinking of switching, but we could always use some more brainy engineers over here. Kidding! Do n't take that the wrong way. 
 
 Dad's still not sent me anything. Still mad, huh? But even if it was just bitching at me, I'd like to hear from him. Try to pester him a bit more, maybe? 
 
 I hope this letter reaches you after the news. I do n't know how fast your post system is, but I ca n't hold onto this letter anymore. I do n't know what to say that wo n't sound hollow. 
 
 He died shouting a warning to his squad. Their retreat succeeded because of him. 
 
 You should be proud of him. I do not think your war is right - you have no place here - but even so, you should be proud of him.
