The ButterCream Gang1992

Scott Carpenter:
Shouldn't doing what's right change something?

Mr. Carpenter:
Scott, you know I don't like to talk much about the war, but in Vietnam, I knew a soldier who always introduced himself by saying, 'Hi, I'm Scott Paulsen, and I'm a Christian.' Well, needless to say, we made his life miserable because of what he believed, but he never got angry at us. In fact, he was always the first one to help whenever anyone needed anything. I tried to get him to talk about it one night, but all he would say was, 'Tom, the way you treat me is between you and your god. The way I treat you is between me and mine.' Well, a few months later, Private Paulsen was killed. We were out on night patrol, and we got ambused. Twenty men down. Private Paulsen, being the man that he was, had volunteered to go, and the ironic thing about the situation was that he died saving a soldier who absolutely hated him. I just couldn't understand why he would do it. Then the war ended and life went on, and I forgot all about him until the night you were born. The first time I held you in my arms, I knew that I would give my life to protect you. And in that moment, I remembered Private Scott Paulsen.
