Hail the Conquering Hero

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!

Woodrow Lafayette Pershing Truesmith is discharged from the Marines due to a hayfever condition before ever seeing combat, so he delays returning to his hometown out of shame. In a moment of melancholy, he encounters a group of Marines who befriend him and encourage him to go home to his mother by making up a story that he was wounded in battle and honorably discharged.
