About this listen
Over one million Americans have served in Iraq and Afghanistan in the past four years, but fewer than 500 from this group have earned a Silver Star, Navy Cross, Air Force Cross, Distinguished Service Cross, or the Medal of Honor. Those who have been awarded these distinguished honors all demonstrated an extraordinary courage under fire in the worst of circumstances.
These Americans come from all branches of the military. They also come from all over the country and all walks of life, representing the entire spectrum of races and creeds. But what unites them are their deeds of consummate bravery, beyond the call of duty. Heroes Among Us tells their extraordinary true stories of valor, honor, and sacrifice.

"This book is an extraordinary testimonial to both heroism and humanity. These accounts are powerful reminders of why Americans in uniform deserve our respect, our support, and our gratitude." (Senator Joe Lieberman)

Great accounts of true Heroes
If you would enjoy a book containing short stories of servicemen and women of the United States, then I would highly recommend this. Other great books have been about one or a few soldiers' acts of valor. They may contain a more detailed story in one book. This is many different stories, one for every chapter. They span from all parts of the military. It details why they joined the military to the events how they earned their medal. This book was an eye opener to the mindset of a soldier and how they selflessly put themselves in harms way for their fellow comrades and to give freedom to people they never met. Though many in this book don't count themselves as heroes, they really are one. Thank you for your service.
