Overview

During World War II, four hundred and seventy-two men earned the nation's highest award, the Medal of Honor, during World War II for their heroic actions. Two hundred and forty-four men earned the award in the European Theater; twenty-four men of the Air Corps, one Sailor, and two hundred and nineteen Soldiers. Copies of the award citations are available via multiple sources, but the wording is not consistent and most sources provide ""incorrect"" citations. The exact wording, based on research, is only in the original citation. This book includes the official account of their act of heroism. The author donates all profits he receives equally to the American Legion, the Disabled American Veterans, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
