Contains 4 stories
Home-Coming
4 pp · war
Ray OrtizManuel OrtizHermana

In "Home-Coming," a U.S. Marine of Puerto Rican heritage returns to Manhattan after surviving an ambush in Laos, only to face a different kind of battlefield at home—where he must protect his younger brother from a street gang’s false accusations. The story captures the weight of coming back to a place that feels both familiar and foreign, as duty and family collide in the city’s shadows.

The Day He Joined the Corps
8 pp · war
Harry Lonigan

In "The Day He Joined the Corps," Harry Lonigan—raised in a Marine family but lacking the Marine spirit—faces his toughest test in combat during the Korean War. When a mortar blast leaves him vulnerable to enemy soldiers, instinct takes over, and he fights back with a raw, unexpected courage that surprises even himself.

Last Lesson
5 pp · war
Corporal Leo FlowersPfc. Joey CashSarge

In "Last Lesson," a small group of U.S. Marines in Thailand struggle to gain the trust of a local village, their efforts hampered by a reckless private whose off-duty gambling undermines their mission. When Communist forces suddenly appear, the Marines must confront not just an enemy on the battlefield, but the consequences of their own missteps.

Symbol of Decadence
8 pp · war
Captain Hiram Hooper

In "Symbol of Decadence," Hooper—long relegated to desk duty during years of officer training—finds himself thrust into combat in South Korea after a Tokyo party mishap triggers a last-minute deployment. Arriving at his post in nothing but his dress uniform, he becomes an unlikely target for the enemy, his formal attire marking him as a symbol of everything they oppose.
