The history of the Marine Corps is full of stories demonstrating seeming impossible obstacles overcome by Marines.  Belleau Woods, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir just to name a few.  In this short story (6,200 words) C.G. Cooper has defined the essence of what makes the Corps the force that it is and always shall be.  It has been  47 years since I earned the right and privilege to wear the EGA (eagle, globe and anchor) insignia of the Marine Corps but the esprit that was instilled in me in the winter of 1967 has served me well since.Not everyone who reads this story will understand the concept.  EVERY Marine will.  Semper Fi!
