Zepp's Last Stand

I enjoyed reading the story by Madeleine Blais because I was intrigued to find out what the outcome would be for the eighty-three year old veteran. I found myself rooting for him from the very beginning. The physical descriptions really helped me put the story into perspective as well as Zepp's attitude towards his past life events and the world. Instead of being angry or bitter about the dishonorable discharge back in 1919, Zepp focuses on making it right and proving it to himself that he deserved an honorable discharge. At times, I had a hard time reading the story because of how often Blais would switch back and forth between the present time and his past time at the Pentagon. I was a little let down at the end when all of the build up led to everyone agreeing except for one person.
