Since the Civil War, more than 39 million men
and women have answered the call to serve. Of
those, 3,440 served with such uncommon valor and
extraordinary courage that they were presented
with the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest
military award. In this collection, more than
one hundred of America's living Medal of Honor
recipients are honored. Their tales of bravery
are recounted by best-selling author Peter Collier,
and also feature portraits by award-winning photographer
Nick Del Calzo.
