SPOILERS
Background
Valentine became a captain in the U.S army's cavalry and befriended Funny's father at some point. Later, while visiting his grave, he finds his handkerchief and sets out to hand it to his son.↗
Captain Valentine is introduced to a seven-year-old Funny by his mother, and divulges that he was a friend of his late father. Valentine then tells the story of his sacrifice and patriotism. Funny’s father was captured during fighting and subsequently routinely tortured to reveal information. He would never waver in-spite of the pain because of the handkerchief stuffed inside his gouged out eye, which reminded him of his family and country.↗
As the name suggests, Captain Valentine married Funny's mother, giving him the surname name Valentine.↗
Steel Ball Run
During his struggle against Johnny Joestar and Tusk ACT4, Funny Valentine recalls Captain Valentine's visit. He pulls out the handkerchief he's kept since, to remind himself of that time, and boost his resolve. He tells the story to Johnny in an effort to sway him over.↗↗↗
