In the heat of Korean combat, the men of Baker Company discover an abandoned baby and wrap him in a treasured family heirloom—a patchwork quilt passed down through generations of soldiers. When two GIs venture into a nearby village seeking milk for the hungry child, they find themselves caught between a Communist commissar's demands and the villagers' growing compassion, forcing Baker Company into a desperate race against time.

Knit One, Fire Two
7 pp · war

Sergeant Mulvaney and his squad are sent on a dangerous scouting mission to an enemy encampment perched on a bluff, but when they're captured and thrown into a prison hut, Corporal Percy—the unassuming soldier the men had mocked for knitting—discovers an unexpected way to get critical intelligence back to camp. As enemy forces close in, the squad must execute a desperate plan to survive and complete their mission.

Pvt. Bragg gets word of his promotion to P.F.C. and immediately sets out to demonstrate his newfound authority to the other soldiers—with results that quickly deflate his inflated ego.

During a Korean War furlough in Tokyo, G.I. Joe befriends Molly Jordan, a schoolteacher who seems overlooked by his buddy Mulvaney—but Joe and the barber Fiore have a plan to transform her into the belle of the ball. As Molly blossoms through their efforts, Mulvaney discovers he's been wrong about her all along, and Joe learns that sometimes the real magic isn't in the makeover, but in opening someone's eyes to what they've been missing.

Next Week East Lynne

PFC Titus Leer, an aspiring playwright in Baker Company, has poured his heart into a tragedy called "Once More the Sun" during downtime in Korea—and when Broadway entertainers are announced to visit, Leer's confidence in his work is tested against the skepticism of his fellow soldiers. When the company decides to stage Leer's play as their own entertainment, the performance must go on despite enemy interference, forcing Leer to prove that his artistic vision has real value. It's a touching wartime story about ambition, camaraderie, and finding purpose in unexpected places.
