Lt. Leo Graves

Lt. Leo Graves, a young officer with Company F near Stuttgart, Germany, faces an impossible choice when his unit gets pinned down by "The Thing"—a devastating concrete and steel tank trap that blocks their advance and has already claimed heavy casualties. Drawing on his demolition training from basic, Graves loads himself with explosives and crawls through merciless enemy fire to destroy the roadblock, knowing the odds of survival are slim. This is the story of a soldier who wanted to live, but discovered what it truly meant to be one.

During the closing days of World War II in the Burmese jungle, Captain Budley and Lt.

Sgt. Bill Nelson of the 27th Infantry Division lands on Saipan to face desperate Japanese resistance, including savage nighttime banzai charges and heavily fortified enemy positions. As the fighting intensifies and his company struggles against a well-defended strongpoint, Nelson demonstrates the grit and marksmanship earned through years with the National Guard, pushing forward through waves of enemy attacks.
