Medal Of Honor: From Antietam To Afghanistan

This is the complete story of the Medal Of Honor. It begins with Congressional approval of a Navy Medal in 1862, to the latest awards from the Afghanistan War. The Medal has undergone several additions and re-designs. 150 years of history is reviewed with many citations and history stories. This book should be required reading for every High School student in America. It is a story of the valor and bravery which has built and maintained our freedoms. There are facts which will astound most Americans. The reality is stranger than fiction and the bravery defies description. This is the book to curl up with on a long weekend and re-live the rigors and tribulations which America's fighting men and women have endured for our welfare. Do you know how many foreign volunteers have been recipients of this highest honor? Have you ever heard of "The Great Locomotive Chase"? Do you know the story of "Old 666." These are the stories which made America and they are hardly recognized by the vast majority of Americans. You owe it to yourself to know about an essential part of our American heritage. Here's your chance to get 375 pages and almost 120,000 words of American history wrapped up in a story which reads like a great novel. How many of my audience know the correct name for this medal? This book is the best investment you will make this summer.
