These characters are Kien's comrades during the war that are all killed. Among these soldiers, Tam is particularly noteworthy for having sacrificed his life so that other soldiers could escape. Cu is the last to die, fighting with Kien at the Saigon Airport "with just three hours to go before the eleven-year war ended."
