He's there to see his Gunny, who's been stuck in the hospital with a broken femur since he was transported home in February. He's the platoon commander who was knocked hors de combat by the IED, and he's been sent to find out why his Gunny is obstinately refusing to accept an important decoration for his participation in the incident. Turns out that's going to be quite a job, because Gunny's got his reason. Will the Lieutenant, and his ally the nurse, be able to convince his Gunny there's a better reason to accept the decoration? Might be they'll need a little help from a friend. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
