Medal of Honor: Portraits of Valor Beyond the Call of Duty is
a collection of portraits, essays, and 116 personal histories of nearly
all of the living Medal of Honor recipients. Those honored share their
compelling experiences from World War II, the Korean War, and the
Vietnam War. Medal of Honor is a stirring tribute to the United States’
bravest military heroes, men who have earned their place in history,
men who have inspired and continue to awe all of us with their courage
and character.
