Danny Percell

Danny Percell is a good soldier, but the atrocity of the war broke his heart and mind. The pain is unbearable and he tries to find comfort in drugs. Thanks to the help of his friends, he gets over this difficult moment.

In every mission he risks his life and he always helps his fellow soldiers.

When the time to go home arrives, he is happy, but also scared about the future that is waiting for him. Sergeant Anderson reassures him. Percell admires him very much, and his face lights up when the Sergeant tells him that one day he could come to see him.

When Percell arrives home, he finds a job at once. For one moment he feels a thrill when he sees a co-worker with oriental features and his mind goes back to the war.

Percell is pleased when he meets Billie Jean. He is moved, he talks with her, saying with pride that he has been in Vietnam. Billie jean’s look becomes ice-cold and she goes away. The girl’s behavior hurts him deeply.

Percell feels sad and lonely, he understand that everyone who has been in Vietnam is now socially excluded, considered an awkward presence. He needs to hear a friendly voice, and he calls his friend Ruiz; who is feeling the same emotions. After the first words, there follows a silence, a silence that is worth more than words. It reveals the pain and the anguish of these two young men who went to war, who risked their lives and now they are forgotten... Their thoughts go to their fellow soldiers, when all together they were respected and they felt a family.
