Summary

The authors of the #1 New York Times bestselling Walk in My Combat Boots salute America’s most courageous military heroes. 
 
​From the storied battlefields of American military action, here are vivid, authentic stories from the men and women who gave themselves—and even their lives—serving in overseas conflict from World War II to Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. 

For their extraordinary selflessness, camaraderie, and patriotism...for engaging combatants while outnumbered, under pressure, under fire…for their service and sacrifice, they
merited the US military’s highest awards for valor, including:  
 

• Medal of Honor
• Distinguished Service Cross
• Bronze and Silver Stars

In the words of Medal of Honor winner Patrick Brady:
“Soldiers believe life has no meaning unless it’s lived for the benefit of future generations. That’s why they protect America.”
