Contains 4 stories
The Story Of Rustie Rosie
8 pp · war

When 2nd Lieutenant Steve Bedrik's tank crew names their newly assigned Sherman "Rustie Rosie"—after a girl back home and a battalion artist's creative spelling—they have no idea she'll become one of the most fearless machines in the European theater. From the beaches of Normandy on D-Day through fourteen grueling days of combat and beyond, Rustie Rosie and her crew take on Nazi reinforcements, tank ambushes, and relentless air attacks, proving that heart and grit matter as much as armor plating. Follow this tough little tank and the men who love her as they fight their way across France and into Germany, where every mission could be their last.

Not Hero Types
5 pp · war

Beckworth, an overweight supply sergeant who's spent sixteen years avoiding combat, finds himself stranded behind enemy lines in Korea with draftee Viccio—and discovers that survival demands far more than the safe desk jobs he's mastered. When Chinese forces close in and surrender proves deadlier than fighting, this reluctant pair must rely on instinct and each other to make it through a harrowing night of ambushes and close calls. It's a raw look at how ordinary soldiers become soldiers, whether they planned to or not.

Hey, Joe! Help Me! Hey, Joe! Medic!
3 pp · war

On Guadalcanal, Marine Sergeant Russ Almeyer watches a young replacement, PFC Roy Haywood, begin to unravel under the psychological strain of a nighttime Japanese infiltration—whispering voices and shadows in the dark testing every ounce of nerve. Rather than leave the terrified marine frozen in his foxhole, Almeyer takes Haywood on an aggressive patrol behind enemy lines to show him that the enemy are soldiers, not phantoms. By dawn, Haywood discovers something more valuable than survival: the confidence that comes from fighting back.

Anyone Can Get A Purple Heart
7 pp · war

A self-proclaimed coward lands at Normandy Beach on D-Day, paralyzed by fear while his unit pushes into combat around him. As the hours of battle unfold, an inner voice—part encouragement, part instinct—pushes Blair to act when it counts most, and his survival becomes something neither he nor his skeptical comrades expected. By the time he's awarded a Purple Heart, Blair discovers that courage isn't the absence of fear, but the choice to move forward despite it.
