I have really enjoyed hearing the stories of United States servicemen who won the country's highest military commendation, the Medal of Honor. Peaceful, freedom loving people all over the world may enjoy what is offered within.Each story is amazing. As a recipient said, when a child asks "What is it like to have killed someone?" his reflection was "that's a real kick in the gut." "Any human being forced to take the life of another always bears a great sadness."Courage, Sacrifice, Duty, friendship, Love of neighbor-friend and foe, Loyalty, and Freedom are common themes in each story. It does not glamorize war.The book and accompanying DVD highlight stories of the Medal of Honor recipients that were still living at the time of its publication. Posthumous recipients of the award are not covered.I found it amazing that all of them represent America as a socio-economic, religious, and ethnic cross section of the population. World War II, Korea and Vietnam War veterans are covered. Each story also highlights a kind of valor/bravery/self sacrifice that was not sought by the recipient. Each one says he was not out looking for the honor but that he did what he felt he needed to do in a given perilous situation... only free men/women...driven by an idealogy of a higher good, love and freedom rather than hatred and self-destruction can make this claim.The DVD is 80 minutes long and quite touching. It highlights 11 recipients of the award in interviews. The recipients re-tell the story in their own words along with brief narration.This is an important piece of world history and should be passed on to future generations.
If you think you've been having a "tough day", pick up this book and read one or two pages and see what "tough day" really means. I always took the time to read all the bio info on each MOH recipient just to try and get a sense of where these people come from. (Answer: ALL OVER AMERICA) My time in the Navy was during the Viet Nam war, always in West Pac. I never had any duty in combat, but I always looked at the dates of the actions by these extraordinary men and tried to remember where I was when THEY were in the THICK of it. I knew four guys who did not come back (all Marines) and this book will be a keepsake in the book case forever. This book should be required reading in every high school History/Civics class in the country.
Very impressive book and informative. Covers all the men who have received the medal.
This was purchased for my Husband for his birthday. My 8 year old son asked, what is the Medal of Honor? And so the dialogue continues, with the most magnificent companion book that you could ask for. I recommend this book to all parents, but perhaps I am going out on a limb here, I recommend this to all Dad's who want to teach their kids about the meaning of bravery and honor. You won't regret it and they will never forget. Lest we forget.
This book is an amazing account of who true American "HERO's" are, not somebody from Hollywood or a music band. It saddens my heart that every year we lose more and more of these "HERO's" and nothing is said about them on the National News, but everytime a Pop-Music Icon or Hollywood actor who lived a questionable life anyways passes away from a drug overdose we glorify them for numerous years to come. Last time I checked the President of the United States of America is required to render a Salute to a "Medal of Honor" receipient not to someone who sold over a million copies of a record! The "Medal of Honor" is the pinnacle of the morals and standards that we use to teach our children, unfortunately the Welfare System is what we teach our children is the standard today. There is a difference in what America used to be and what we've allowed it to become today. Buy this book, sit down, read through it with your children and teach them what it means to be a "True American".
I have always been interested in military history, especially WWII. This book is excellent! The pages are filled with accounts and photos of these heros. I have not completed reading all of the book. I like to savor each story after I read it. I wonder if I could do what they did. I am impressed with the deeds these men performed to secure our freedom.I recommend the book to anyone that enjoys history.
We homeschool; found this book to be a wonderful & necessary addition for our history courses. Ours came with the DVD, even though we purchased used. Beautifully illustrated, well written. My father served in the AIr Force back in the 1960's, and he looks forward to borrowing it soon.
Wonderful gift for a dear friend. Really enjoyed it
