Decoration Day Heartbreak in Boomer Veteran Hopes Arm Memorial
Timothy Sullivan, a one-armed veteran from Water Glen, settles in Boomer Oklahoma and plans a Decoration Day tribute to a left arm that fought for the Union. The town lacks a G A R post and proper ceremonies, but Sullivan rallies locals including the Chayka and Schmernoff families for a makeshift parade and backyard grave decoration, only to find alien faces and dwindling comrades at the end.
