This is going to be my first Fan Fic. While the main character as well as others may be made up, some of the characters portrayed in the Story were real live Marines with the 1st Marine Division in World War 2, and their characters will be based on the research I have done on them. This story will take place between 1942-1946. I have always had a passion for Military history. My whole life I have wanted to grow up and join the military, and now, after my completion of college, my goal will be achieved. I chose the Pacific Theater of War because it involved some very, very brutal combat. The United States Military was the only line of defense standing between Japan and the United States. They fought both for Revenge from Pearl Harbor, and to protect the civilians of the USA. As far as I know, most people support our soldiers, while some do not. However, almost no one really realizes what hell they go through on the battlefield, fighting to protect you and your family. So this story will signify the hard ships, the psychological issues, and brutalities of combat that soldiers go through, defending their country while most of us, and I am sorry to say this, sit on our lazy rears, going about our normal lives. Like stated earlier, this story will follow the 1st Marine Division, and their encounters and missions. The main character will be Jackson Miller, a Staff Sergeant of Baker Company, part of the 1/1 (1st Battalion 1st Marines). Jackson Miller will help lead the 4th Rifle Platoon in Baker Company in the beginning. Here is a basic set up of a Division, so you can get the jist of how it would work in combat:

Personality: Jackson is originally very Optimistic, and happy, but as the War Progresses, he becomes darker.

He is an ace with his rifle, and also able to wield other weapons if need be (He has used a Sub Machine gun before, a B.A.R., and has operated .30 and .50 Cal machine guns). He is generally liked by his soldiers. He cares for his soldiers, and makes friends with them. He leads from the front, which makes his soldiers appreciate and like him.
Negative Traits: He tends to care a little to much for his soldiers, and will run into enemy fire to help a wounded man. He puts himself in harms way because he prefers to lead from the front, and not the back.
Dislikes: the Japanese, Kamikazes, Mosquitoes, crabs (Actual Crabs, not the STD
), the Jungle, sand, enemy artillery.
Fears: He fears just about anything a normal Warrior or person would fear. However, he has to keep his fears in check, and not let them show, so that he can lead his men, and keep moral high.
Aspirations: He hopes to one day Marry, and have children. He wants to get as many of his men through the war as possible. He wants the United States to win the War.
Quirks: He cleans his weapons often.
Philosophy: "Semper Fi"
Gear
Armor: The only armor he really has is his M1 helmet, the standard issue, and only, helmet of the United States Military in World War 2. His clothes may offer a little resistance, but not much.
Main Weapon: Jackson uses an M1 Garand Rifle (He will occasionally use another weapon when needed, but this is his main weapon). (During the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Marines were originally equipped with M1903 Springfield Bolt Action Rifles)
Secondary Weapons: M1911 Colt Pistol (His fathers), KA-BAR, M1 Bayonet (Used on the end of his Rifle, and also in his Hand), Mk 2 Grenade (When used, he carried two), his Helmet, a rock, what ever he could use as a weapon really.
Very Short Biography:
Jackson Scott Miller was the middle of three sons born to the Parents John Miller and Betty Scott Miller. Jackson attended High School, and upon Graduation in 1940, joined the Marine Corps, following in the path of his father and older brother (His younger brother would join as well). On December 7th, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, bringing the United States into World War 2. The first Marine Division was mobilized, and he was promoted to Staff Sergeant, after which his father gave him his old Colt M1911 Pistol. In 1942, Jackson was shipped to Guadalcanal, where he would land on his Birthday, August 7th. Jackson would go on to fight in the New Britain, Peleliu, and Okinawa Campaigns.
