"War never leaves a man, it follows him wherever he may go. It haunts him, looms over him like a rain cloud. Its always there. Even years after the fight, war never leaves a man."

Lou Miller was an average, twenty one year old living in St. Louis, Missouri. Wanting more from life he enlisted into the United States Army, not fearing the rise of the Third Reich, he saw that as Europe's war. On December 7th, 1941 that all changed, Japan had attacked America, and Lou, along with the rest of the 1st Infantry Division, was thrust into a raging conflict that became known as The Second Great War.All Rights Reserved

The Old Breed by GhostWriter1567

In St. Paul, Minnesota, Max Wilson enlists in the Marines in pursuit of duty and honor. He leaves behind his family, his life, and mainly, his recent fiancée. Quickly thrust into a world hellbent on destroying itself, Max must learn to bond with his comrades, throw away his morality, and survive in some of the most brutal environments on the planet. The enemy will not surrender. The only way to win is total war. And even that may not be enough to make it out alive.

Hot Summer Night by JeniRaeD

Sixteen years ago, my sisters and I moved from France to the United States to live the American dream. Not long after, I met Declan, a marine who was home for his mother's funeral. He was my everything, my world, and the love of my life. Four and a half years later, I became his fiancée. Then, when I thought everything was going well, my world ended when I awoke to him gone. No note, no nothing. He was just gone. I waited days, weeks, and months to hear from him and for his return. That never happened. Then, I met Chadwick, who took the pieces of my broken heart and put them back together. He promised me many things during our dating years, guaranteeing he'd give me the world. And he was. Then, after years of not wanting to give my entire heart to him, fearing he'd do what Declan had done, I pushed the fear of him leaving me aside and married him. The night we married, instead of giving me the world he promised, I was gifted a nightmare. For over six years, I lived in a lake of fire. If I wasn't locked in a dark, cold room for days on end, day and night, I was tormented, punished, abused, and tortured in the blackest darkness until I could no longer see, talk, or move. Maltreating me until he broke me. Finally, one of my prayers was answered when an ally close to Chadwick helped me escape the prison of hell. She flew me out of New York and brought me to her friend's home in Mobile, Alabama, where I got the shock of my life. He wasn't just her "friend." He was a ghost from my past, and now I'm in his care. Oh, and he has a child nearly as old as our breakup.

Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019] by amanda_denney_writes

It is 1914, and Henry Anderson is watching the world descend into war. Like many young men at the time, he is fascinated by the idea of warfare and glory. Henry enlists in the military against his parents' wishes and throws himself into the life of a British soldier in Flanders. But it is far from what he expects: Henry's fantasies of righteous battle fade into the grim reality of gruesome death and shell-shock. He and his fellow soldier Jacob must help each other survive the cruel trenches, but it is no longer certain that either of them will return to England alive. Told in journal entries and letters from Henry's sister Elizabeth, this reveals the realities and horrors of World War I, on the battlefield and in the homefront. I wrote this for a history project while studying WWI and got way too involved in it, so here you are. WARNINGS: gun/bomb/gas-related violence, war descriptions, graphic death, suicide attempt. I will mark specific chapters with warnings and give summaries of those chapters on the following one. These may not be complete, so if a chapter is not marked and should be, please comment to let me know. Written in 2019 (age 15).

Bayonets and Barbed Wire by Ki_Prov

Sixty-one-year-old Otto Schneider sits his study on the night of his birthday, reminiscing about the War. He does not know what drew him to do this, but he steels himself to remember a combination of heartwarming and horrid stories. Although this story is fiction, the experiences of Otto are experiences shared by an incomprehensible number of faceless soldiers who marched into conflict fueled by society's expectations, only to be mowed down by people who were just the same as they were.
