Marine Corps Stories: Saved by a Black Devil Dog
A Marine aids a Marine officer in battle.
It was prideful and honorable. When Staff Sergeant Jayden Hawkley raised up First Lieutenant Armie Shuttleman in a fireman’s carry, he knew the rounds would fly. The Iraqi sun would beat down on him. He, nevertheless, marched close to sixty yards to get back to the humvee.
“Are you hit, sir?!” Hawkley yelled.
“Yes. my leg. I think my calf muscle!”
The cameraman recorded one black Marine helping in the other.
“Corpsman!”
Navy Corpsman Dwight Zimmer rushed to the officer’s side and patched up the man.
Hawkley laid down fire as the opposition soon retreated.
“They had better run, goddamnit!”

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her Aunt and Uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties hurled through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.
