The captain was the person Eddie followed in the war and he saved the pain from Eddie's leg in the fire. The captain took care of Eddie and the other men when they were captured and Eddie helped them escape and that only caused something worse. There was a fire and Eddie's leg was in it so the captain shot his leg to ease the pain, this is why Eddie has to use a cane for his knee. The second person Eddie met in heaven (the captain) taught him sacrifice and this was why all the men escaped and the captain sacrificed himself in the war to save his neighbor. The captain was a big part of Eddie's life and he didn't realize, I wonder who he will meet next!!
