Chapter 9 - The Restoration Of Honor
Colonel Mercer turned to the main podium of the reception hall, signaling the bugler and guards of honor.
"Attention on deck!" Mercer roared through the hall's public address system.
Every single officer, general, and young graduate in the building stood at rigid attention, snapping crisp salutes toward Olivia Carter.
Caleb looked at his mother with tears of immense pride filling his eyes, snapping the sharpest salute of his young military career.
Marissa stood alone in the center of the room, completely disgraced, as two female military police officers stepped forward to escort her out for questioning regarding financial fraud.
Olivia raised her hand slowly, returning the salute with effortless grace and quiet dignity.
