American heroes / James Patterson and Matt Eversmann with Tim Malloy and Chris Mooney.
"U.S. soldiers who served in overseas conflicts -- from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan -- share true stories of the actions that earned them some of America's most distinguished military medals, up to and including the Medal of Honor. They never acted alone, but always in the spirit of camaraderie, patriotism, and for the good of our beloved country. There has never been a better time for all of us to think about duty, sacrifice, and what it means to be an American hero"-- Provided by publisher.

From World War II, Korea, and Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan, these American men and women have served with leadership, bravery, and selflessness.
Â
We donât fight out of hate. We fight for loveâlove of our country, our homeland, our family, and our unit.

I helped save about 130 soldiers. Thatâs more rewarding than the medal.
Â
I didnât earn it. I wear it for those who lost their lives protecting mine.
Â
To be with those guys, at that time, on that day, is probably the proudest moment of my career.
Â
Outnumbered, under pressure, under fire, these elite American warriors never give up on their fellow soldiers. They never give up on themselves. They never give up on their country. They always walk with honor.
