Detour to Destruction
8 pp · war

When enemy tanks break through Marine lines on the Korean front, Sergeant "Tripoli" Shores and his small squad—Private "Arky" Woods and the South Korean soldier Duck Sing—race to plant anti-tank mines on the Red army's only escape route. But a detour through a nearby village puts them in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with Communist infiltrators, and Tripoli must track down a spy bent on warning the incoming tank column before it's too late.

Guerrillas Die at Dawn
4 pp · war

Marine Private Rocky Ventura takes a temporary assignment hunting down a brutal band of Huk guerrillas terrorizing the Philippine jungles—a chance to put his Korea combat experience to good use before deciding whether to reenlist. After scouting the communist camp and coordinating with local Filipino volunteers and air support, Rocky leads a dawn strike to dismantle the insurgent threat. The operation unfolds with precision, determination, and the kind of hard-won respect that comes from fighting alongside men who have everything to lose.

Tailor Maid
6 pp · humor

Canteen Kate takes matters into her own hands when a fellow soldier complains about his ill-fitting uniform, sneaking into the supply area to grab material for a custom remake—only to accidentally swipe some experimental fluorescent fabric from the chemical lab. When Kate and her friend model their homemade uniforms, the glowing outfits catch the attention of a major and the supply sergeant, setting off a chase that neither of them bargained for.

Danger Ahead
7 pp · war

A squad of Marines is ordered to clear snipers from a ridge in Korea, but when Biff and Smokey discover a cave filled with hidden government treasures, they stumble into a dangerous situation that puts them at odds with enemy patrols—and tests whether following orders or seizing the moment will determine their fate. Written by an unknown author with interior art by an unknown artist, "Danger Ahead" balances the gritty reality of Korean War combat with the kind of impulsive heroics that can either get you killed or get you commended.

Gallantry in Action
1 pp · war

During a Korean patrol, Corporal Joseph E. Madden spots a concealed enemy T-34 tank positioned to ambush the Marines advancing behind him—and without hesitation, he charges the armored vehicle to disable its threat before his unit comes under fire. With quick thinking and support from his fellow Marines, Madden manages to knock out the tank's periscope and allow a grenade to be dropped inside, neutralizing the crew and saving his patrol from a deadly ambush. His gallant action earns him a Silver Star citation and the respect of the men he protected.
