Publisher's note: "'Courage in Combat' tells stories about our military heroes from the Civil War onward, relating personal accounts and reflections on combat and war from members of the Legion of Valor of the United States of America, Inc. and their friends. The book explores the concept of courage through aspects of the lives, thoughts, and actions of this elite group--recipients of the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross, and the Air Force Cross. Their awards are our nation's highest military decorations, given to only one in 20,000 combatants. Among them are sergeants and generals as well as corpsmen, civilians, engineers, "grunts," and paratroopers; there are men and woman, a mess attendant, aviators, spies and prisoners of war, a cavalry scout, candidates for sainthood, and a President of the United States. This book also includes a short history of the Legion of Valor, America's oldest military service organization and an extensive list of its members, past and present."--Back cover.
