Ordinary Heroes Book
$25.00
This collection of moving black-and-white photographs of recipients of the Medal of Honour shows not the glory of war, but the underlying spirit and humanity of true heroism. Forty-eight portraits are combined with comments, observations, and statements from the recipients of Americas highest military honor. This compilation of words and pictures of men who served in the US Navy, Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps is both humbling and poignant. Their actions and lives vary as much as the conflicts (World War II, Korea, and Vietnam) and include a conscientious objector who never wielded a weapon and a man known as the Last Eagle, as he was the last World War II pilot to retire. Each recipients full official citation is included in the appendix.
This book is signed by Medal of Honor Recipient Gary Lee Littrell – U.S. Army, Vietnam.
