Description: Veteran's Day Special - American Heroes
* An Encore Presentation: Originally posted for the Week of December 9, 2007
The Iraq War has given us true American heroes. Army Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, House to House: An Epic Memoir of War entered a house in Fallujah and took on six Jihadists alone. He is the only living person to be nominated for the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award, since the 1970's. Then... During an ambush in Iraq, Marine Corporal Jason Dunham took a grenade to save the lives of those around him. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on January 11, 2007. Wall Street Journal reporter Michael M. Phillips, The Gift of Valor: A War Story discusses his story.
"The reality hits me. War isn’t glorious. This is horrible. And there’s no way you’re going to leave this. Either you’re going to lose your life, or you’re going to lose your innocence, you’re going to be changed forever. There’s no way you can leave a close-quarter battle like that and be the same person."
