A LOOK BACK AT SOME OF THE BRAVEST MEN TO SERVE IN THE UNITED STATES MILITARYROBERT HOWARDRobert Lewis Howard is perhaps the most highly decorated United States Army soldier since World War II. He was a Medal of Honor recipient of the Vietnam War, wounded 14 times in nearly five years of combat. This book chronicles his exploits on the battlefield and recounts the heroism which earned him three nominations for the Medal of Honor as well as eight Purple Hearts.ROCKY VERSACEHumbert 'Rocky' Versace was the first prisoner of war to be awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during captivity.Showing incredible will and resolve, Versace remained defiant in the face of Viet Cong interrogations for over two years before his captors decided to execute the man whose spirit they could not break.ROY BENAVIDEZRoy Benavides is widely regarded as one of the most fascinating Medal of Honor winners in the history of the United States Military. Orphaned by the age of seven, Benavidez overcame obstacle after obstacle, from racism to paralysis to enduring 'Six Hours of Hell' in one of the most daring Vietnam rescue missions of all time....This is his story.CARLOS HATHCOCKThere are few names at the top of the list of military war heroes as well known or inspiring than Carlos Hathcock. His career, skills and tactics have had an enormous impact on military strategies across the armed services. A devoted Marine, he couldn’t have known how much he would change the face of military strategy for not only his branch but the Army and Navy as well. A war hero, landmine survivor, multiple sclerosis sufferer, Sergeant Hathcock certainly had an impressive life. The stories of his escapades in the jungles of Vietnam precede the quiet and gentle man and serve as a startling contradiction. He was a sniper who didn’t like killing, but he was damn good at it.
