** One scene shows "Skipper" getting up early for duty, quietly leaving behind his sleeping wife & children. Before he leaves the house, he lightly knocks on a closed door. Moments after "Skipper" leaves the house, Andy, who's obviously staying with "Skipper" [[spoiler: and whose own family was killed in the previous scene]], joins him in the ride to the airfield. No words are spoken, but we can see from his expression that "Skipper" is deeply concerned about Andy.
