"I always make sure to say that when I wear my Medal of Honor I wear it for everybody. There were so many brave servicemen and women that accomplished incredible acts of selflessness and gallantry that either didn't get recognized, or didn't have anyone to witness those acts and many of them didn't make it home. I'm proud to be part of this book of gripping combat accounts that provide a small glimpse into the painfully raw high-speed realities of war."
- Medal of Honor Recipient Gary Wetzel
