Edgar joined the Marines after a man tells him they are the best military outfit. He is part of the first fifty blacks to be accepted into the Corps. When Edgar arrives for boot camp he has a quarter in his pocket and cardboard mending the holes in his shoes. He has been working since the eighth grade when he had to drop out of school so his Mama could have an operation. Edgar's father left the family when Edgar was six.
