From the Back Cover

Includes essays by Oliver North, Laura Ingraham, and Sean Hannity

A Humble Expression of Deep Gratitude for the Sacrifices of True Heroes

"Their story is known to all of you. It is the story of the American man-at-arms.... I regarded him then as I regard him now--as one of the world's noblest figures....His name and fame are the birthright of every American citizen. In his youth and strength, his love and loyalty, he gave all that mortality can give."

-General Douglas MacArthur

"All too often we take our freedom for granted. At times we forget that extraordinary men and women have sacrificed so much so that all of us may enjoy the freedoms we have. To all those who gave of themselves to preserve our way of life, the American way of life, I say: thank you."

-Col. Buzz Aldrin

"We mourn their loss and then entrust these selfless Americans to our national cemeteries where they rest beneath a white marble stone. Visit them, but tread lightly near each hero's grave. Pray for them and their families, but do so quietly, for during their lives they had to endure the horrific sounds of war. And be grateful that here, in honored respite, these fallen champions can embrace what every warrior hopes for--a peaceful silence."

-Lt. Col. Oliver North
