The United States Marines #7
A Marine named Roger faces a crisis when he learns his father has been assigned as a target for commando marksmen during training exercises. Roger's father, a decorated Marine of thirty years, is troubled by the assignment and wants Roger to help him escape the duty, but Roger refuses to abandon his responsibilities to the Marine Corps. Months later, Roger's father arrives at the base, and though Roger wants to spend time with him playing baseball, he ultimately accepts that his commitment to the Marines must come first, leading to an emotional reconciliation between father and son about duty and service.
