Vietnam War Medal of Honor David L Rose

In 2008, I volunteered as a guide in the National Medal of Honor Museum. I very quickly realized that most visitors to the museum, left the museum without learning what these brave warriors did to earn the Medal of Honor. A missing piece that I thought was very important. I resolved then the fix that. The citation associated with each Medal of Honor is sometimes quite lengthy and it is written in military language that many civilians don't understand. My goal was to shorten the verbiage and make it easily readable by the general public and to the youth. As a result, I chose to create a poetic 4-line description of each of the 256 Vietnam War Medal of Honor recipient citations for all to read in a quick read snapshot format. This book includes a picture of each Medal of Honor recipient, the medal he was awarded and the 4-line poetic description of this heroic actions. This book would be appropriate for Vietnam War veterans library, birthday gifts, awards for veterans, holiday gifts, collectors, poetry enthusiasts and more.
