Excellent entry. This highlights the brotherhood between Marines and the willingness to make sure the objective is reached. On a human level, it's so refreshing to read of the heroics of these guys. This situation goes beyond a story, it's a lifestyle, which you've so aptly described.

Your picture and words plus results perfectly describe the
motto, Mystery Author. I enjoyed reading your entry. Even
if a picture had not been included, I would've been able to see
it due to your great word choice. You did a great job with your
50 words.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan

This story was very moving. I knew the term "Jarhead," but I did not know how it originated, so thank you for teaching me that. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you.

This touched my heart. When he called him 'Jarhead," I was glad to hear his brother came to his rescue. What a great story. One with emotions that stay in memories. The story is great as the art. Thank you for sharing.
