Aw, this was nice. Though, two timeline notes: Steve was already in the army by Dec 7, 1941 -- he volunteered for the supersoldier experiment after seeing newsreels from Europe, and in fact the first issue of Captain America was March, 1941. Yes, he was a forward thinking kid. Also, his mom had been dead for several years by that point, she died when he was in his mid-teens.

Ah ha, I didn't know this! Well, we could consider this slightly AU, then. :)

I'm glad you liked the story, Tavella! :)
