The Weight of a Badge

Summary

After high school graduation, I finally received my acceptance letter to the United States Military Academy at West Point. It was a dream come true.

But just a few days into the semester, I was reported. By my best friend.

He claimed my father was a drug addict and a dealer.

I was pulled out of training by the administration for an investigation.

The result? Not only was I cleared, but I was also guaranteed a spot in grad school.

My best friend was stunned.

Yes, my father was involved with drugs.

But he was an undercover cop who died a hero.
