This anthology issue contains multiple war stories. "Surrender" follows Sergeant Briggs, a soldier considered a coward by his unit, who proves his valor by taking out enemy positions despite his reputation, earning the respect of his commanding officers. The story touches on Civil War history when soldiers discover a Confederate cap belonging to Uncle Nick, a great-great-grandfather who fought in that conflict, leading to reflections on military heritage and bravery across generations. Additional stories advertised on the cover include "Son of a Hero," "The Test," and "Ol' Nick's Last Charge."

Contains 5 stories
Son of a Hero
7 pp · War

Jay Colden, a young recruit burdened by his father's legendary war record, struggles with a paralyzing fear of combat during the Korean conflict. When Major Wallach—a man who knew his father—takes him on a dangerous patrol, Jay's moment of truth arrives in the most harrowing circumstances. Haunted by shame and the weight of his family's heroic legacy, he must finally confront who he really is when it matters most.

Surrender
6 pp · War

Sergeant Burris and his ragtag squad of unconventional soldiers—including Gorilla Lopez and Bones McGraw—find themselves holding a critical position against a massive red assault that threatens to overwhelm the American lines. As wave after wave of enemy troops pour down from the hills, the squad discovers they're surrounded and facing surrender, but these goof-offs have other ideas about how to fight by their own rules. Watch as this unorthodox outfit turns the tide of battle in ways by-the-book officers never expected.

Old Nick's Last Charge
6 pp · War

Cotton Jim Loomis carries his great-great-grand-uncle Nick's Confederate cap and endless stories of Pickett's Charge into the frozen mountains of Korea, where his company faces a desperate stand against overwhelming Chinese forces in December 1950. When enemy machine-gun fire pins down his squad, Cotton Jim sees a chance to finish what his ancestor couldn't—but fate has other plans in store.

Windy

The Test

PFC. Danny Coulter faces his first real test in combat—a month of nightmares has left him paralyzed by fear, but a gruff sergeant's steady guidance gives him the chance to prove he can pull the trigger when it counts.
