A lot of my family have served from WWII, KOREA, VEITNAM, DESSERT STORM, and of course todays wars in AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ. I was in the Navy.
Recently I was in Barnes and Noble and was perusing the history section, as I do, and came across a fascinating book called Bound by Honor. I was intrigued, not just because it was another military type memoir (I admit I've read a lot of them, of all branches), but because it is a true story of the first time (and only time) someone received the Medal of Honor rescuing a fellow MOH recipient. Both were Navy SEALS during the Vietnam war. I'm dying to read the book, I didn't buy it that day because I was low on funds and decided I should wait. But I read probably a third of it while we were there
Another book I have read though is Brothers Forever and a must read IMO. Both went to Annapolis together. One became a Marine and the other a SEAL. The first died in Iraq then the other in Afghanistan. Incredible stories
