The epilogue of the text is a letter written post-war from a mother to her dead son Bill. Eleanor Wimbish’s depth of love for her son and suffering over his loss is put to the reader and though it lays bare one of the primary cruelties of war, the anguish of a parent at the death of their child, the implied reader sees that Edelman has used her story to show the strength that people draw from their ability to be connected.

To respond well to this question a person needs to discuss the different groups of people represented in the text: the soldiers - 'cherries', 'grunts', the army leaders, the Vietnamese civilians, family and friends of soldiers at home in America, the VC. Can we think of any other groups that could feature in the discussion?
