Attending the Funeral
Doris lost all trust in the military after reading her son’s letter. The letter broke her trust in the national defense force and left her feeling misled and disillusioned.
Doris attended her son’s burial with pride, honoring his life and efforts despite her sadness and disbelief. She was in astonishment and anger at the letter’s contents, and she tried to accept that such awful things were occurring in the military institution she had previously admired.
