3. To keep the all of his memories alive. She is also the reason O’Brien writes his stories.
4. The moral of the dead KIA would have to be people are kept alive by the stories people tell. People say if you can feel the emotion or even the presence then there is still a piece of them here even if it is just a small piece.
