Biography:
The youngest of Old Anse's sons, and the only one to get married, Buddy was born late enough to have served in World War I, where he was wounded in battle and decorated for valor. He's a patriotic veteran despite his disdain for the government's direct interference in the day-to-day activities of his farm, and he encourages his sons to sign up for the old Sixth Infantry where he served. He tells them, "The Government done right by me in my day, and it will do right by you" (53).
