About this listen
When you're 18, scared out of your mind, and missing one of your combat boots in Army Basic Training… you’ve got two choices: face the wrath of a drill sergeant, or take a risk that might just save your hide.
In this short, unforgettable story, a 60-year-old veteran recalls the time he found his lost boot hanging in a tree outside the barracks—and the decision that taught him more about courage than any manual ever could.
