I would like to know the character Spence, from the book Soldier Boys because he fights for America, he loves his family, and because he is very brave. Spence decided to go into the army because he wanted to fight for his country, and he felt like it was his duty to. There is not one day that Spence is not thinking about his family, praying that they are ok and that he will be ok so that they can see him again. In fact, leaving his family has been the hardest part for Spence through the war journey. He has thrown up, passed out, almost gotten blown up, and his toes were close to turning numb because it is so cold. Even through this, he is still think of his family. Spence is very brave because he knows that he has a VERY high chance of getting killed in war becuase he is so young, but he still wants to do it. Spence realizes that there are more cons then pros in this situation, yet he still goes for it. Spence is an over all a good person and these are the reasons why I would love to meet him.
