The stories of the men and women is this book are the true accounts of everyday Americans who, by the cookie cutter standard of characterizing a hero are most unlikely. Some were short, others were exceptionally tall. Some were small boned and slight, others were at the least a little overweight, a few even fat. They were young and inexperienced in life, others were old and beyond the days of their youthful strength and vigor. Many had health issues that would have made them unlikely heroes; several could never have passed a military physical or an ASVAB in today's Army. None fit the recent mantra for soldiers of possessing the highest male standards.

These men and women hailed from small towns across America. Or from some of our biggest cities. Some were distinguished college graduates, high school valedictorian/salutatorians; others had little more education than a few years of grammar school. Some came from wealthy families of prominence, others grew up in unstable families and poverty, some even growing up an America's troubled barrios.

Some were Boy Scouts, even Eagle Scouts. Others were troubled youth, petty criminals, even gangbangers. A few, whose life patterns tended to show that they would never amount to anything good, found themselves in a courtroom where a judge gave them the option of enlisting in the military or going to jail. In choosing the latter, in the most dire of combat actions, they found themselves and rose to challenges to disprove the disdain of those who knew them in their early life.
