Honoring The Unsung Heroes In The War On Terror

War is an unfortunate reality of our world. It tears families apart, destroys homes, and takes lives. Throughout history, there have been wars fought for various reasons, but one thing remains constant - the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women who fight on the frontlines.

In the aftermath of the devastating events of September 11, 2001, a new war emerged - the War on Terror. It was a fight against a global network of terrorists, determined to inflict fear and harm on innocent civilians. While the focus has often been on the high-ranking officials and political leaders involved, there is a group of heroes that often go unnoticed - the unsung heroes of the War on Terror.

The Unsung Heroes

These unsung heroes are the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who put their lives on the line every day to protect our freedoms and keep us safe. They are the ones who face unimaginable dangers, endure long deployments away from their families, and witness the brutality of war first-hand.

In Home of the Brave, former Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger brings us a chronicle of heroism in the War on Terror.

They are nineteen of the most highly decorated soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines in the United States military, and yet most Americans don't even know their names. In this riveting, intimate account, former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and Wynton C. Hall tell stories of jaw-dropping heroism and hope in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Home of the Brave takes readers beyond the bullets and battles and into the hearts and minds of the men and women who are fighting terrorists overseas so that America doesn't have to fight them at home. These are the powerful, true-life stories of the hopes, fears, and triumphs these men and women experienced fighting the War on Terror. But more than that, these are the stories of soldiers who risked everything to save lives and defend freedom. Including:

*Lieutenant Colonel Mark Mitchell, the Green Beret leader whose 15-man Special Forces team took 500 Al Qaeda and Taliban prisoners, and posthumously repatriated the body of the first American to die in combat in the War on Terror, CIA agent Johnny "Mike" Spann.

*Army National Guard Sergeant Leigh Ann Hester, the first woman ever to be awarded the Silver Star for combat, whose sharp-shooting and bravery played an enormous role in fighting off over fifty Iraqi insurgents while her ten-person squad protected a convoy of supplies on the way to fellow soldiers.

*Sergeant Rafael Peralta, a Mexican immigrant, enlisted in the Marines the same day he received his green card. Wounded from enemy fire, Peralta used his body to smother the blast of an enemy grenade and gave his life so that his marine brothers could live.

These real-life heroes remind us of American history's most enduring lesson: Ours would not be the land of the free if it were not also the home of the brave.
