Courage. Compassion. Anger. Love. Death. Loyalty. Mercy. Retribution. In a final defining moment near the end of his tour, Mackinack is forced to decide his path in a split second. Will he return to the man he was before the war, or will he become the killer the war created?When Mackinack and his great grandson reach the monument, there is one final surprise tied to events sixty six years earlier.
