his friend peewee
Richie Perry is a 17yr old boy who enlisted in the army because he couldn't afford college and it sounded good to him at the time because he wanted to make something of himself and become a hero.
He changes a lot because of the things he sees and the things he does. He starts to doubt why he went to war in the first place.
Richie Perry makes the mistake of standing up too soon during the ambush, exposing himself to enemy fire and getting wounded in the process. This mistake puts both himself and his fellow soldiers in danger.
The title fallen angels is extremely relevant because the name "warrior angels" was given by lieutenant Carroll to American soldiers who fought in the Vietnam war. Therefore when soldiers were killed in action they became "Fallen Angels".
In 1979, when he temporarily replaced Joe Perry.
