Roger wanted to say thank you to Mrs. Jones but he didn't have the guts to. He felt really bad about it because she gave him a second chance, food, bath, and even ten dollars for the blue swade shoes he wanted.
He turned out to be a really good kid and made the decision of joining the army. He called Mrs. Jones to ask if she wanted to grab a bite to eat sometime this week but she didn't answer. He called everyday but there was still no answer. He decided to go over to her house and see if she was ok. Roger saw people standing outside the house dressed in expensive cloths. His eye's filled with tears and he began to cry because he knew she was gone. Roger never got to say thank you and tell her that he was joining the army. He ran home and slammed the door shut behind him. Mrs. Jones was gone and was gonna be shipped off to Vietnam in two days.
Roger made it to Vietnam but was so depressed that he took one of his grenades off his belt and held it close to his heart. Boom! Everybody woke up and stared at what used to be Rogers body but now was pieces of a boy that just wanted to say thank you.
