Medal of Honor: Portraits of Valor Beyond the Call of Duty, by Peter Collier with photography by Nick Del Calzo (Artisan Books), profiles the acts of selflessness, valor and undaunted courage that each of these men found within themselves at the most extreme moment of crisis and peril.
The brave acts of Medal of Honor recipients remind us to give pause our busy lives and salute the true heroes - our American soldiers. As the war in Iraq continues, there is no better time to honor our active soldiers, Medal of Honor recipients, and our nation's 25.7 million veterans. Medal of Honor is the only book endorsed by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation and profiles 138 recipients.
These men are America's finest heroes: those who wear the distinctive sky blue ribbon and star that make up the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest military recognition. Their inspiring stories include acts of bravery during World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam.
