"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

By 1943, World War II has engulfed the world and America finds itself fighting a two front war against both Europe and the Pacific. The Army smashes against the concrete walls of Fortress Europe in the west while on the other side of the globe, the men of the Marine Corps find themselves embedded in the brutal Pacific Theater. 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.

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).

Letters to History by PaulMayo2

Born to the wind on an Iowa plain, Where the cornfields sway and whisper names, He came of age as the world went dark, With fire in his soul and a patriot's heart. December skies in '41- Pearl was struck, and the world undone. On the very day he turned eighteen, He signed his name, joined the machine. Not for glory or a flag unfurled- But to fight the evil in the world. From the Seventh to the Seventy-First, He carried a weight that only grew worse. Busted down for a righteous blow- A brother in arms laid low for woe. He saw a girl-young, Black, and scared, And struck the one who didn't care. Not all battles are waged with guns- Some are fought when the right's undone. Son of Alfred, soldier and shield, Who fought in France, then walked the beat, Whose badge gave law, whose cancer stole- Allman bore that father's soul. Elaine, his mother, soft but steel, Taught him how to stand and feel. He marched through Europe's shattered bones, With dreams of home and gravel roads. Brothers in arms, some lost, some saved- He buried many, dug many graves. But never did he lose his grip On what was just, or let it slip. Klink-a name from the Prussian line, Now forged in stars and battle signs. He carried old blood, and a newer creed: That no man should suffer for another's greed. So raise a glass to Iowa's son- Who fought for peace with fists and guns. The war may end, but tales still link The strength and fire of Allman Klink.
