Sonny was 12 years old when he became a Guard with his father. He trained to fight for his country with full Army gear. After the war, he was forced to adapt to a life of hard work, racism, and misunderstanding. He draws on his experience to survive. When Sonny faces the end of his life, in Yupik tradition, he goes home. He reflects on his life and makes peace with his experiences. Sonny's estranged daughter, Bun, buries her father. She felt empty. Decades later, when the Army moves to discharge the members of the ATG, Bun files paperwork for Sonny. At last, her father is given honor for his life of service.
