A very quick pedantic comment:  The apostrophe in your title is in the wrong place.  It should be before the s, not after it.  Soldiers' is plural.

(Because I need to make two pedantic comments before lunch or I can't make it through the day)

Like you said, spelling errors pepper this work.  Those are easily taken care of, as well as the grammatical problems.  Proof-read your work carefully after you write it or, if you're not sure of your own grammatical prowess, find a pedantic friend to do it for you.  If you're doing it yourself, I'd recommend waiting a day or two after completion so you can look at the story with fresh eyes.

You have quite a few sentence fragments:

Normally a night like this would be a peaceful and relaxing one on the Border Colony world. But the same breeze that was bringing the first hint o snow wa also carrying a sense of dire foreboding.

This could be smashed down into a single sentence, thus:

"Normally a night like this would be a peaceful one on the Border Colony world, but the breeze that brought the first hint of snow also carried a dire sense of foreboding."

Eric looked up into the sky as the beginnings of a meteor shower lit the outer atmosphere in streaks of white. He wondered why everyone in the house was tense and frantic, and why his father had brought out his old military issue handgun and rifle. Weapons that he had long since buried in the storage trunk and sworn never to use again.

So much for the sense of foreboding if Eric can't sense it.  Instead of a vaguely defined "sense" of foreboding, you might want to add some noticeable effect that the space battle is having, a burning smell or something similar.  I admit that's a bit hard to do with a space battle, but it would be more effective in terms of conveying danger.  The last two sentences run into sentence fragment problems again.

Eric's father immediately hit the accelerator, and sped his family to the spaceport and the waiting cargo ships.

The verb "sped" is a bit strange here too.  I think I'm used to seeing it used without an object, and so "sped his family" doesn't look right.

New Colombia's

Colombia, or Columbia?

Overhead, the last remnants of New Colombia's token Naval Militia continued to burn through the atmosphere. Even more ominous, though, were the hundreds of alien dropships entering the atmosphere amongst the debris.

The transformation of our "meteor shower" into burning ship remnants amused me.  I'm not sure you can qualify it as "ominous", though, if they can be mistaken for a meteor shower.  Though I understand that you're trying to show Eric's innocence with this, I think he would know full well by now what a meteor shower looks like (assuming he lives in a remote country location with no light pollution).  Perhaps instead you could mention the stars "looking different" or the shower somehow being different from the meteor showers he's used to seeing, instead.

In fact, I would rewrite those two sentences into a single one:

Overhead, the last remnant's of New Columbia's naval militia burned through the atmosphere, followed by the descent of hundreds of alien dropships.

The Sarajevo Spaceport was jam-packed with the desperate families of settlers trying, praying, hoping hoping and praying to be one of the precious few to be ushered on board a freighter before they launched. The New Colombia Militia was trying in vain to keep some semblance of order in the crowded and chaotic streets. of the small city, but For every small victory they had, countless more setbacks and frantic settlers overwhelmed and elimnated what small gains were hadthem in two other places.

With a fervor and skill that never came wasn't learned from farming, Eric's father maneuvered the battered old truck to a Militia-held road.

After all, it might come from farming sometimes!

"Sir, we can't let anybody use this road, it is for militia traffic only." Yelled one of the armed men behind the roadblock, pointing his rifle over the side. Eric's father hesitated only a second before yelling back, "How about if I donate this truck and these weapons to your cause?", holding up his pistol for the armed guard to see.

A battered old pick-up truck and a rifle and pistol?  They must be really hard-up to accept that.  The dialogue could use a bit of work as well.

"WHAT!, Richard NO!, You can't!" Darla screamed in desperation, "We have to stay together! You can't do this! You.."

"QUIET!!" Interrupted Eric's father, cutting Darla off. "This. Is the only way!"

Eric's mother looked into her husband's face and immediately burst into silent tears. The look of grim resolve in his eyes told her what words could not. She angrily looked out the window understanding, if not accepting, his unspoken sacrifice to gain a chance for his family to live.

Commas never never never should do what commas are doing here.  "This. Is the only way!" is odd, too, but looks more like a typo.  I'd like to point out that he did, in fact, tell her what he was going to do in words.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of affection between the father and mother, either.  Stress and everything, okay, but Richard isn't very likeable here.  Unless that's what you're going for, of course.

then tried desperately to shut the gate again against the mass of settlers that surged forward in an attempt to break through.

Redundancy.

Richard drove his family down the eerily quiet and empty road to a waiting ship.

More redundancy.  It's also not very "eery", since we know the reason it's empty (guards won't let anyone on it).  If you want it to be eery, you could describe the difference between this road and the rest of the camp, filled with bustle, as eery, perhaps.

As the final freighters launched off to an unknown fate multiple blue suns lit up the night sky, and descended upon the lone Starport of New Colombia.

I'm not so sure the word "abrupt" is what I'd use.  It fits in with the pace of the story, which is that of a hurried escape from a besieged planet.

However, what are the "multiple blue suns" which descend?  Some kind of missiles?  I don't recall any blue sun-like things in Halo, though admittedly it was about 3 years ago I last played it.  You could perhaps make it more clear here.  Also, why bother with the alien landing ships if they're just going to nuke the place from orbit.  I mean, I know the Covenant is callous, but still...

Looking forward to seeing a future revision of this!

 One thing I will say is that this is a visual piece.  You definately were able to capture the audience, especially knowing we are on another planet and are seeing things that would not be seen on Earth.

At the same time, this is where I have my problem.  Now, granted, I know nothing about Halo any more than what I see on the posters.  Is this happening on another planet?  Is it a system close to the sloar system?  If this is the first chapter, those of us not familiar with the Halo universe need to be drawn in somewhat.  I think you should elaborate some about the New Columbia System.  Is there just the planet and it's moons?  Are meteor showers a normal happenstance for the New Columbia System?  Tell us non-Halo folks a little more.

The one turn-off for me with the the new Star Wars trilogy is there were too many common "Earthy" things in it.  The cool thing about the original trilogy is that everything in that galaxy was uncommon to Earth, from weapons to spaceships.  For me, since we don't know if these people are from Earth, reading them living on a farm and driving in a truck was a turn-off.  Were they farmers on Earth and were called to be farmers on the New Columbia system?  How did an Earth vehicle end up on this planet?  Were they force-located?  Were they survivors of war that had no choice but to become farmers?  I guess it goes back to not knowing the Halo universe.  The story should give us enough information so that we wouldn't have to buy the game AND then a game system and play the game to understand what's happening.

Lastly, that giving of something is so overused, especially when it happens right before the family or loved ones get separated for one reason or the other.  Maybe do something different that still conveys the same theme.  Maybe when the family gets on the departing ship, Eric pulls it out and it has significance to him but we may not know what it means just yet.  Keep us in suspense.  Make us read on.

You've got a good piece of work here.  Keep writing, milad.  Make us proud.

 Take this for what  it's worth--You assume that everyone is familiar with HALO games. We are not. As a result, you loose some of your potential audience. Myself included.

The sun had long since set, pasing its' dominance of the sky to the twin moons and multitude of stars of the New Columbia System.

"...long since set, passing its dominance of the..."

A gentle breeze moved the tops of the trees and carried on it the crisp air of the winters first snow storm, which could be seen coming down off of the distant mountains.

Don't add too much to a single sentence, it can cause the reader to feel overwhelmed. "...tops of the trees and carried the crisp air of winter's first snow storm."

Normally a night like this would be a peaceful and relaxing one on the Border Colony world.

"...like this would be peaceful and relaxing for the Border Colony world."

But the same breeze that was bringing the first hint o snow wa also carrying a sense of dire foreboding.

"...that was bringing the first snow also carried a sense of dire foreboding."

Eric looked up into the sky as the beginnings of a meteor shower lit the outer atmosphere in streaks of white.

Try not to use different words that basically describe the same thing in the same sentence. You can easily take out "sky" and keep the rest of the sentence without changing any of the desired meaning. Also, unless he has really good vision, Eric is most likely not going to be able to see the "outer" atmosphere itself. "Eric looked up as the beginnings of a meteor shower lit the atmosphere in streaks of white."

He wondered why everyone in the house was tense and frantic, and why his father had brought out his old military issue handgun and rifle. Weapons that he had long since buried in the storage trunk and sworn never to use again.

the placement of these two sentences need to be revised a bit. The second part of the first sentence works well with the second sentence, but not at all with the first part of the first sentence. Try something like, "He wondered why everyone in the house was tense and frantic. He wondered why his father had brought out his old military handgun and rifles, weapons he long ago buried in the storage trunk and swore never to use again."

He began to wonder anew when the sound of the Merchant ships warming up their engines became clearer.

Unless it is a proper name, such as "Merchant, Inc.," do not capitalize words that aren't at the beginning of a sentence. Also, the way the sentence is worded throws its meaning off, it is not easily understood.

"Coming Mom!" Eric Yelled as he ran back to the farm house.

Same thing, don't capitalize non-proper named words.

He grabbed his bag of possessions off the porch and jumped in the cargo bed of his father's old truck with his older sister Corinne.

The way the second part is worded can give the impression that his sister is already in the truck or that he jumps up at the exact same moment with his sister. Try something like, "He grabbed his bag off of the porch and jumped into the back of the truck where his sister, Corinne, was."

Eric's father immediately hit the accelerator, and sped his family to the spaceport, and the waiting cargoships.

Drop the commas, they aren't needed.

Overhead, the last remnants of New Colombia's token Naval Militia continued to burn through the atmosphere.

This is news. Is this the meteor shower he was describing earlier? The word "continued" makes this seem as though it as previously described, but it was not. And on a more stylistic observation, naval militia doesn't have the best ring to it, militias tend to be not as well organized as a formal military and typically don't have a naval. Perhaps something like "...token defenders..."

The New Colombia Militia was trying in vain to keep some semblance of order in the crowded and chaotic streets of the small city, but for every small victory they had, countless more setbacks and frantic settlers overwhelmed and elimnated what small gains were had.

This sentence, aside from being a bit long, seems somewhat redundant in its wording. Try something like "The New Colombia Militia tried in vain to keep the crowded and chaotic streets in order. However, several setbacks accompanied every small victory they achieved."

"Sir, we can't let anybody use this road, it is for militia traffic only." Yelled one of the armed men behind the roadblock, pointing his rifle over the side.

Everywhere else you use a capital M for "Militia," but here you use a lower-case. If you use Militia as a proper name, be sure to keep it capitalized throughout the piece. Also, be sure to lower-case "yelled" as it accompanies dialogue, such as ""Sir, we can't let anybody use this road, it is for Militia traffic only," yelled one of the armed men behind the roadblock, pointing his rifle over the side."

"Sir, we can't let anybody use this road, it is for militia traffic only." Yelled one of the armed men behind the roadblock, pointing his rifle over the side. Eric's father hesitated only a second before yelling back, "How about if I donate this truck and these weapons to your cause?", holding up his pistol for the armed guard to see.

The problem with this paragraph is it blends two distinct aspects of dialogue in together. Create a new paragraph after "...his rifle over the side." Also, don't add a comma after a question mark. ""How about if I donate this truck and these weapons to your cause?" He held up his pistol for the armed guard to see."

"This. Is the only way!"

Blend them into one sentence.

She angrily looked out the window understanding, if not accepting, his unspoken sacrifice to gain a chance for his family to live.

"...out the window, understanding, if not accepting, his unspoken..."

The Guards had talked among themsleves during the exchange and when Richard looked back at them, they noded and opened the barricade, waving the truck through, then tried desperately to shut the gate again against the mass of settlers that surged forward in an attempt to break through.

This entire paragraph needs to be looked at again, it's just one really long sentence. Try breaking it up according to relevant information.

What I've observed the most about this piece is that there are a lot of simple mistakes that need to be looked at, such as adding a comma after a question mark or exclamation mark or using the wrong capitalization at times. The word usage for the most part was good, so that's about it for mechanics.

For plot, however, the way the story unfolded didn't really fit in that well with the title. If this is supposed to be about the father's sacrifice for the family to live, why spend so much time on the son?  It didn't seem to offer any importance to the plot. It also seemed rather face paced at the end, and it didn't give any reason behind the aliens being there; was there a war, are the aliens just being imperialistic expansionists, and the Border Colony of what? It left a lot of unanswered questions.

The characters seemed too distant to be able to place any connection with them. Eric, the son, was the most in-depth, but when I found out the story wasn't even about him I was rather disappointed. There just doesn't seem to be enough of a chance to get to know the characters.
