The second person Eddie meets in heaven is his Captain from war. Captain was the officer of his unit. He never left a man behind which is showing that he really cared for his group and that he would do anything for them. When Eddie and three other people from his unit got captured the captain was there with them. When Robazzo got sick the captain gave him his burlap bed as a blanket when he soiled his pants. Eddie played a big role in their escape and captain appreciated that. Eddie liked captain as the officer of his unit but, he was not expecting to see captain as one of his five people.
