G.I. Joe #13

When Private Joe Burch and Sergeant Mulvaney find the abandoned Sherman tank Sherry Lee damaged but still functional, they're faced with an impossible choice: take the crippled vehicle and flee the advancing enemy, or leave it behind. What begins as a desperate escape becomes a lifeline for desperate refugees, including a young widow named Lee Poon and Lt. Wah Nam of the South Korean forces, as the tank transforms from a weapon of war into something far more meaningful. This tale follows the Sherry Lee's journey across a war-torn landscape, where a machine built for destruction finds purpose in salvation instead.

Pvt. Eddie Kass ships out to Korea carrying a family burden—his uncle Willie deserted in World War II, and everyone assumes Eddie will follow the same path. When Eddie joins Baker Company, his new sergeant, who served with Willie at Anzio, makes it clear he doesn't trust him, setting the stage for Eddie to prove himself under fire. As the squad faces repeated enemy attacks and their supply lines collapse, Eddie gets his chance to show what kind of soldier he really is.

When a USO show brings actress Linda Renay to Baker Company, the soldiers can't contain their excitement—but nineteen-year-old private Jimmy Brett seems unmoved by the fanfare, a puzzling attitude that shifts dramatically when danger strikes during an enemy air raid. As Jimmy risks everything to save a fellow performer, his fellow soldiers begin to uncover the truth behind his strange behavior and his connection to Hollywood's most famous pin-up girl.

Coast Guardsman Joe Driscoll thinks his service in the U.S. Coast Guard has been a cushy assignment—until his old friend Cpl. Tom Halsey, fresh back from grueling amphibious combat, suggests he picked the easy branch. Joe's memories flood back to his own journey from boot camp through a fateful operation in Korea, where his LCI came under fierce enemy attack. What began as boredom and seasickness becomes something far more serious when Joe discovers that the Coast Guard's motto—"Always Ready"—means far more than he bargained for.

When Pvt. Whitey Hicks and Pvt. Windy Bragg are ordered to strap on parachutes for a training jump, their usual brand of barracks chaos turns into an airborne disaster. As the two privates tumble out of the plane with more confusion than coordination, Sgt. Gruff and Colonel Stone are convinced they've finally caught the troublemakers going AWOL—but these two Yardbirds have a way of turning the worst situations to their advantage.

Pvt. Jerry "Acey Deucey" Ferris brings his card-sharp skills from a Missouri gambling boat straight into a Korean foxhole, where he discovers that winning at poker among his buddies comes at a cost far steeper than he bargained for. When an amphibious assault leaves his unit stranded and fighting for survival, Acey learns that the biggest game isn't about the cards—it's about the men beside you. A hard-won lesson in what really matters when the stakes are measured in lives, not dollars.

Pvt. Joe Burch returns home on furlough to find his mother gravely ill and in need of emergency brain surgery—but the only surgeon capable of saving her life, Dr. Castle, has abandoned his practice and retreated into isolation following a wartime tragedy. Joe must convince the reluctant doctor to take on the operation and confront the ghosts that have kept him from practicing medicine. A moving story about the battles fought on the home front and the redemption that comes from second chances.
