Heroes

"Since its Revolution-era formation as the Continental Army, the United States Army has earned a hard-won reputation for duty, courage, and brotherhood. But there are those whose exploits in combat have set them apart from their fellow soldiers, earning them the most cherished and honored citation there is - the Congressional Medal of Honor." "From the killing fields of the Civil War, through World Wars I and II, to the jungles of Vietnam and America's fight against terrorism around the world, this comprehensive book features detailed information on 100 Army Corps Medal of Honor winners - including many lesser-known recipients - whose courage and sacrifice in the service of their country remain the foundations of the United States Army. Their achievements are chronicled in this complete memorial of those who have earned the right to be called "The Bravest of the Brave.""--Jacket.
