American Heroes

''Soldiers believe life has no meaning unless it''s lived for the benefit of future generations. That''s what it''s all about.'' Crafted from original interviews, Medal of Honour tells the true, heroic accounts of veterans who have been decorated for their bravery in combat. Learn about the daring actions that have earned Bronze and Silver Stars, the Distinguished Service Cross, and, that highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor. Outnumbered, under pressure, under fire, these men and women exhibited extraordinary selflessness, camaraderie, and patriotism in overseas conflicts: from World War II, Korea and Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. In this powerful collection of never-before-told stories, James Patterson and First Sergeant US Army (Ret.) Matt Eversmann salute America''s most courageous military heroes. _________________________________ PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON ''No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.''
