Like His Son
After William explained his service more thoroughly, the officer then told him that his son had also recently served in the same place as William. “Well alright. My son went to Iraq,” the officer stated. This was the real reason William was being pulled over.

He kept explaining more details to William about his son’s time serving overseas, and it really made William’s attitude about being stopped flip completely.
