we are in their debt

It's difficult to read this book and not wonder how America produces such men. Coming from all walks of life, and all social segments of society, the authors have compiled a marvelous selection of what makes this country great. This is not a coffee-table book; it's a book that should be read and passed on to your children //

Where do such men come from?

This is a classic coffee table book. It's too large to fit on your book shelves but just right to rest on your coffee table. And, since it includes 117 separate and distinct stories of living men who won the Medal of Honor, you can pick it up, read a page or two, then put it down and come back to it later without skipping a beat. Best of all, the stories are interesting enough that your friends will enjoy scanning the book while you're off making the margaritas.

Turning the pages of this book is visiting a sacred place

I always feel reverence for the service given by the veterans of our armed forces. For me, it matters little what they did because they spent a portion of their life supporting the defense of our freedom. Everyone in the military matters.
