Coweta GI Coleman Hinkefent’s foe attacked from within

A little over a year ago a 17-year-old boy sat across from me after saying goodbye to a friend, PFC Cody Carver, and said "Dad, he did something,” and asked if I would go with him to the recruiter the next day. Some might say that the Army gave me back a man — but I dare say I was looking at one that day. Coleman enlisted, turned down all of his "bonus” money, in exchange for a front row seat in a faraway place as an infantryman. Along the way, no amount of boot camp or hardship could restrain that quality that attracted so many to Coleman since he was an infant – pure, unadulterated joy.
