Night Watch is a good story, but really sad. If I were the son of the old man in this story, my first reaction it would be angry. Why angry? because I did not have the opportunity to watch my father in his last moment of life. I will also angry, because at the moment that I was told that somebody else took care of him in his last hours, and it wasn't me. In that moment I would be angry for everything. For myself, for life, for the airplane companies.
My second reaction it would be grateful, because at the moment that I was told, that it was a Marine that it took care of my father, I would looking for him just to give them all my gratitudes, even more when he didn't tell my father that it he wasn't me. That would be my unique consolation, just to think that it my father die thinking that it was me, who took care of him in his lat moment.

This is a very good personal response to the story that successfully describes your ambivalent point of view to the narrative. Just watch your use of tense to help with the clarity of your writing. 9/10
