'Once a Marine, always a Marine.' was the code he lived by....

This is the story of a man whose dictionary had no definition for the term 'impossible'...an exceptional man who wouldn't let his superiors stop him from doing what he saw as his duty, even if he had to do it himself after being retired. 

The story is told from the perspective of his niece who's concerned about how the authorities are trying to rewrite his life for their own purposes.
