Thomas Coleman: With the new war and the family tensions involving his brothers and his older sister, plus a general feeling of uneasiness, fourteen-year old Thomas’ shift from childhood to his teenage years is becoming more and more unsettled each day. Throughout his childhood, he had looked forward to Christmas each year, even though his haul of toys was, like each of his siblings’, meager during the Depression years. This year, though, Thomas can’t wait until Christmas is over, feeling that any kind of holiday celebration is out of place given the times.
Thomas Coleman: The youngest son, Thomas is unsettled by seeing his brothers in their Army uniforms and feels left behind because of what they are sharing and experiencing out at Thunderbird Field.
