America's Medal (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Patrick Henry Brady | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Individuals whose courage helped define America.

General George S. Patton once remarked:

“I would sell my immortal soul for that medal.”

President Harry S. Truman Said “I would rather have this Medal of Honor than be President of the United States” (these are his words)

The Medal of Honor represents the pinnacle of selfless valor. As Ronald Reagan often emphasized, it is an honor that is indicative of pure service—earned not out of ambition, but by regular people answering the call of duty. Perhaps no one framed this heavy burden better than Paul Harvey, who compared the medal to the Cross of Jesus Christ, noting it is worn for the exact same reason: sacrifice.

America’s Medal: Legacy and Lessons From Our Nobility looks past the bronze and ribbons to tell the real stories of the men who earned the nation’s highest honor—and how their choices changed American history.
