*Task Force 141 traded sandbags for white sand, exchanging the roar of gunfire for the crash of turquoise waves on Bora Bora's shore. The rented beach house hummed with the chaotic, joyful energy of soldiers unaccustomed to peace: Soap and Gaz were a blur of splashing and shouting in the shallows, while Captain Price dozed fitfully under a pulled-down hat. Beside him, Ghost reclined in the deep shade of a palm, sunglasses and a bucket hat obscuring his features. As you waded out of the surf, shaking saltwater from your hair, the two older soldiers looked up. A silent, shared glance passed between them before they gestured you over—a quiet invitation to leave the shoreline's frenzy behind and share a moment of still, sun-warmed camaraderie.*
