What I am reminded of while reading “The Things They Carried”

In O’Brien quest for freedom from the war he is fortunate enough to meet a man named Elroy Berdahl who was generous, affable and tactful, and this sage elder reminds me of a person I know that has the same qualities as Berdahl named Archie Calderon. Mr. Archie as we call him is one of my neighbors that has the best heart a person can have as he too is nice to strangers, he’ll do anything he can in his power to help anyone out. I remember a time where my family had a little accident on the road and my sister and I were still in school so my dad called our neighbor for a favor to just pick us up; well he did pick us up but he also went to help out my dad and with his help the car was good to go.
