Part 1, Chapter 13 Summary

Jolene is flying a hero mission to pick up the remains of four fallen soldiers. She is curious about who the soldiers are, picturing herself in their place. When Jolene and her crew return to Balad, Jolene says Michael has not written her once since she arrived. Tami asks if Jolene has written him, and Jolene says no because she does not know what to say. Tami reminds her friend that they could die at any time and that it does not matter what Michael did to cause their lack of communication. She encourages Jolene to find the courage to talk to Michael before they lose everything. Jolene questions how she can trust her husband again, but Tami insists she try.
