Jack of Harts

All of us Cowboys had different motivations for joining The War. Charles wanted to tear down and rebuild his home. I wanted vengeance on the Shang for destroying my home. Jay Lovato volunteered to defend his home. He was the best of us in many ways. He certainly had healthier reasons to fight than some of us did. And the Cowboys he commanded in battle tended to reflect similar reasons. We all had exceptions to the rule, you understand, but his people generally shared his view. They were there to defend Earth, and when everything was done, they intended to go back home. And he and most of his people did exactly that after War’s End. Jay went home, but did not resign as a Cowboy. He maintained his command, and made it a welcome place for any Cowboy that wanted to come home. That made a huge difference for all of us.
