An award-winning military journalist tells the amazing stories of
twenty-five soldiers who've won the Medal of Honor, the nation's
highest military award. In the Company of Heroes will feature
in-depth narrative profiles of the twenty-five post-9/11 Medal of
Honor awardees who served in Afghanistan and Iraq. This book will
focus on the stories of these extraordinary people, expressed in
their own voices through one-on-one interviews, and in the case of
posthumous awards, through interviews with their brothers in arms
and their families. The public affairs offices of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff and the individual armed services, as well as the
Congressional Medal of Honor Society, have expressed their support
for this project. Stories include Marine Corps Corporal William
"Kyle" Carpenter, who purposely lunged toward a Taliban hand
grenade in order to shield his buddy from the blast; Navy SEAL team
leader Britt Slabinski, who, after being ambushed and retreating in
the Hindu Kush, returned against monumental odds in order to try to
save one of his team who was inadvertently lost in the fight; and
Ranger Staff Sergeant Leroy Petry, who lunged for a live grenade,
threw it back at the enemy, and saved his two Ranger brothers.
