What makes a hero?

They say a hero is someone that has given his life to something bigger than himself.

I say a hero is no braver than an ordinary man, he is just braver for five minutes longer.

All soldiers are brave, it's what they do with their bravery that makes them heroes.

Am I a hero?

Clayton Jackson dedicated his life to serving his country. Enlisting in the Marine Corps at the young age of eighteen, he never imagined following any other path. However, fate had other plans for him as a life-altering accident during his last deployment left him disabled and forces him to return home. 

Hiding in the small town he grew up in, Clayton tries to keep his secret from his loved ones at all costs. One day while seeking refuge from his troubled mind, his path crosses with Isabella Jones. Their connection is instantaneous as if the universe conspired to bring them together. 

Isabella, a mysterious and enigmatic woman, is haunted by the demons from her own past. As their relationship quickly blossoms, the unspoken truths between them threaten to tear them apart. When Clayton is presented with the opportunity to rejoin the Marine Corps, Isabella is faced with a decision: whether to accompany him or remain behind.

Caught in this web of secrets and lies, they try to navigate their love through the murky waters, desperately hoping to find solace in each other's arms. But will love be enough to conquer the shadows that lingered in their hearts? Or would the truth ultimately be their undoing?

The Broken Soldier: Secrets of a Broken Marine

There are those moments that bring you pure pleasure and joy, the moments that you took for granted when you had them. And times like these, when your life comes to near danger every day, it is these times that make you miss them the most.

Now this Marine has taken his ass into to tent for he has never in his life possibly ever cried so hard. Hearing the voice of Matty coming through the line is that pure pleasure and joy that you feel.

"Hey bro, don't tell me your big ass man is crying."

"I am going to give your big ass man a slap for just saying that. How are you doing Matty?"

"Bro, before I even begin, how is it down there?"

"Loving it, every moment, just enjoying it."

"Ya, it is only your sick ass that would say war is fun."

I only but burst out in laughter to what is possibly very much the truth, but the real truth, "We are here to make a difference, that is all that counts. And you might as well enjoy doing it while you can."
