* all five raise their glasses*

* During the "Star-Spangled Man" montage, we see various kids completely invested in the USO's Captain America campaign, with some happily reading his comics and more getting into one of Steve's performances by alerting Cap of the (fake) Hitler. It's small in the grand scheme of things, but a good view of how children believe in heroes.

* A real life one: the fact that Joe Simon actually lived long enough to see the film, and how well it was received, before his death a few months later at age 98.

'''Steve Rogers:''' I don't want to kill ''anybody''; I don't like bullies, ''wherever'' they come from.

* Gilmore Hodge, the soldier that disrespected Peggy earlier on and bullied Steve during training, is seen in the background applauding Cap after he brings back the 400 [=POWs=]. It's a two second long bit, and Hodge isn't actually the focus, but his body language doesn't imply he's just paying lip service, but thinking a sort of "Well, shit, he is a badass!"

* During Bootcamp when we have the exchange on Why Steve vs Hogan so the CO tosses a grenade, and STEVE leaps to cover it, using his body as a shield to protect the trainees who taunted him!

* This conversation between Steve and Peggy just before [[spoiler: Steve goes off to rescue Bucky and the other prisoners]].

* Steve launching a one-man assult on a Hydra base [[spoiler: just because there's a chance Bucky could be alive in there.]]

'''Dr.Erskine:''' Yes.\\

** Even more poignant is that Steve ''looks into the camera'' right after, as if to say, "This is for you."
* Its subtle and rather small compared to the samples above, but there's something poignant about [[spoiler: Nick Fury actually showing ''some'' emotion for the newly awakened Cap, the very brief question of whether or not he's okay speak volumes...coming from Fury, something as small as that is quite powerful]].

* Schmidt a)didn't have Zola wear a poison tooth, and b)lent him his cool car to escape in. He's probably the closest thing Schmidt has to an actual friend. Poor genocidal maniac, he just wants a hug. And world domination.

* The last that we see of Peggy, she's looking at Cap's file while the Strategic Scientific Reserve closes up shop. She opens the file and tearfully smiles at a photo of a pre-Serum Steve, indicating that Cap may be long gone, but she's certainly not forgotten about him.

** He also gets visibly angry with Zola when Steve destroys yet another HYDRA project. When a HYDRA soldier is brought before him as well, Schmidt immediately executes him for his failure. Zola, however, just gets berated, and its clear that Schmidt doesn't want to hurt the little guy.

* During Bootcamp when we have the exchange on Why Steve vs Hogan so the CO tosses a grenade, and STEVE leaps to cover it, using his body as a shield to protect the tranies who taunted him!

* Steve looking at his goofy outfit which got him many taunts and such... and then said he actually grew to like it. And while his actual, eventual costume is different, he basically asked Howard to base it on his goofy outfit.
