Book excerpt: Marine Corps PFC Owen Callahan, fresh out of boot camp at Parris Island, finds himself in a firefight in a Vietnam jungle. His platoon is in trouble, and he charges into action with little regard for his own safety to help get his mates out of danger. Badly wounded, he survives and is eventually awarded the Medal of Honor. Later, when Owen is a staff sergeant at Marine Barracks Washington, DC, his wife suffers a traumatic advance in childbirth, and he turns to Lieutenant Daniel Tucker for assistance in getting a transfer. Lieutenant Tucker helps the young sergeant and his family, who are ever grateful, and the two families stay connected over the years. Later, Owen and Dan are in combat together; Dan is wounded and Owen helps save his life. Owen's daughter Katy matures into a beautiful young woman, and she and Dan begin a romantic relationship. When Dan commands a regiment with Owen as his sergeant major, the romance threatens both Dan's career and their friendship. Will Dan and Katy ever find happiness?
