Medal of Honor
It is the highest award a grateful nation can bestow upon its fighting men. To earn it, a soldier requires more than courage, more than dedication — valor that far surpasses that of his brothers-in-arms.Twenty years after the first Navy UDT frogman fought and died at Peleiu and Normandy, a new breed of warrior has answered the call of an idealistic young Commander-in-Chief — going where no Americans have gone before, on missions no one else would dare. In a jungle was within a war, deep inside enemy territory, one unit — and one man — will write a glorious chapter in the proud SEALs history through unparalleled fortitude and terrible sacrifice — while learning the most brutal lesson of the hell called Vietnam: that the deadliest enemies of all might be those on their own side.It is the highest award a grateful nation can bestow upon its fighting men.
