Winkler's War
6 pp · war

Ed Winkler, an Iowa farm boy reluctant about the Korean War, finds himself stranded behind enemy lines with Sergeant Kelly after a brutal ambush—until they're sheltered by a local villager named Ying-Pi and discover an unexpected way to fight for something that finally makes sense to them. When Red forces threaten the village, Winkler and Kelly organize the villagers into a makeshift resistance, and in a desperate mountain pass battle, they prove that sometimes the fiercest soldiers are those defending their own homes. This is the story of how a homesick G.I. transforms into a leader with a cause worth fighting for.

The Cautious Kid
6 pp · war

In Korea, Captain Bill Walters constantly pushes Sergeant Gene Clay to abandon caution in combat, insisting that boldness wins battles—but when a nighttime patrol goes badly wrong, Clay's instinct to hold fire before identifying a target may prove more valuable than all the captain's reckless charges. This tense war story explores whether surviving combat means trusting your gut or following orders, as the cost of hasty decisions becomes all too real.

Ronald Rosser's world shatters when he learns his brother Dick has been killed in Korea, driving him to enlist and settle the score with the enemy. Assigned to Company L of the 38th Infantry, Rosser finds himself and his unit pinned down near Ponggil-li in January 1952—until he decides to take matters into his own hands. A daring charge up a fortified hill sets the stage for an act of valor that will define his service and honor his fallen brother's memory.

Chicken Patrol

Goldbrick Gribble, a lazy soldier obsessed with his next meal, gets accused of stealing twenty chickens from the mess tent—and when he's sent on guard duty, he stumbles straight into enemy territory and discovers the real culprits cooking his regiment's stolen chow. Faced with a choice between calling for backup and protecting his beloved rations, Gribble proves that beneath his love of food beats the heart of a real fighter.

Five-Day Leave
1 pp · war

When T/Sgt. Edward H. Yablinsky learns that his Marine brother Kenneth has fallen in Korea, he makes an unconventional choice: instead of taking his five-day leave in Japan, he requests to join his brother's unit at the front lines to meet the men Kenneth served with and fight alongside them. What begins as a tribute to his fallen brother becomes something far more personal as Yablinsky discovers what it truly means to honor the bonds of the Corps.

The Raiders
7 pp · war

When mounted Red raiders devastate a U.S. outpost and kill his friend Bill Baker, paratrooper Lou Leslie volunteers for a dangerous mission to track the enemy to their mountain stronghold and destroy the dam that supplies their base. Armed with TNT and a small team, Leslie fights through treacherous terrain and Red resistance to reach the dam—but when discovery forces him to act before the explosives are fully wired, he's forced to improvise a desperate solution. It's a gritty tale of revenge and sacrifice set against the Korean conflict, where one soldier's determination to honor his fallen comrade becomes the key to halting a threat far larger than himself.

Samson Celebrates a Holiday

Private William "Samson" Speakman of the Black Watch marks Guy Fawkes Day 1951 in Korea the only way he knows how—by loading Hill 217 with grenades and preparing for a Chinese assault.

His extraordinary bravery under fire earns him a distinction few soldiers ever achieve.
