A Crazy Start
Jazwinski was just about to round off the encounter when the cop decided he wasn’t finished with him. William probably thought it was all over at this stage, but he had more warmth coming his way! Despite his discomfort, William realized that he was bound to have some special encounters with people by advertising his veteran status. He knew that there were people out there that had strong emotional ties to soldiers. What was this police officer’s story?
Further Interrogation
The policeman clearly had more need of William, continuing to interrogate him. Specifically, the policeman wished to discover just where William had been assigned. He asked William where he had served. This seemed to be far bigger than simple curiosity. William was used to talking to non-military civilians about his time spent serving, and the tone of this conversation was different. He might not have known what was about to go down, but William was happy to help.
