Scars of Honor

Some heroes don’t wear capes. They wear scars.
Jack “Steel” Carter is a forgotten Marine living in silence. Decorated with medals he never talks about and carrying ghosts he’s never laid to rest, he rolls through life in a small town that barely notices him — just another old man with a wheelchair and a war story no one wants to hear.
But when Cassie Monroe, a young journalist with a troubled past of her own, is assigned a feel-good fluff piece on local veterans, she sees something in Jack no one else does: a warrior still standing, even while sitting down.
What begins as an awkward interview turns into a journey of brotherhood, brokenness, and bravery. As Jack slowly opens up, Cassie uncovers a powerful story of sacrifice, survivor’s guilt, and a love left behind. Together, they search for Jack’s long-lost war buddy and take one final road trip to rediscover the meaning of loyalty, healing, and home.
With humor, heartbreak, and a salute to the unsung heroes of America’s past, Scars of Honor is a gripping, emotional tribute to the men who fought… and the battles they’re still fighting within.
For every veteran who was seen only in passing — this story sees you.
