I am glad I never had to make those decisions. Veterans and police, don't get enough recognition for all they went through, and are still going through.
Thanks for the reminder. Karen

Great descriptive language. There seem to be 3 themes: Memory Lane and Driving Main; the current altercation and Christianity vs. Muslim faith. That, I found a wee bit confusing. Starting with Main Street, ending with Main Street would tighten up the story a bit. Great job.

    Thank you. I appreciate your very kind review.
    I intended no comparison to the Muslim faith. My reference was to anything not Christianity. We all learn the truth upon death.

I thought your story was well written. It captures the tense atmosphere of a military operation. The interaction between Sergeant Allman and Private Thomas was well done. It did an excellent job of showing how difficult it is to be a soldier and the the moral issues that soldiers face in combat situations. This was well written. Excellent us of dialogue (it sounded real).

Excellent story. You bring the reader right into the middle of the action. We see the tension and the life or death decision making. Draggin' Main is a good thread to tie the story together.

One grammar thing:

the private needed assured (to be assured) I know people talk this way, but it's not grammatically correct.

Great entry for the contest. Julie

    Thank you for your great review. Norms change with usage. You are 100% right, and if it costs a single vote I should fix it, but...
    Thanks.
