My Men Are My Heroes - Nathaniel R. Helms - Bog

This is the first paperback edition of the riveting story of legendary U.S. Marine First Sergeant Brad Kasal. It is a page-turning account of Kasal's courageous mission to rescue fallen comrades while under intense enemy fire during the Battle of Fallujah. At a house in a walled neighborhood, Kasal and his squad became involved in a close-quarter, two hour duel with fanatical Chechen fighters. During the fight, Kasal was shot seven times, almost losing his leg, and sustained 47shrapnel wounds using his body to shield a wounded Marine from an enemy grenade. Because of his actions in the skirmish, Kasal was awarded the Navy Cross, the nation's second highest award for heroism. The book is a new addition to the Leatherneck Classics Series. My Men Are My Heroes has been selected as required reading by the Marine Commandant's Reading List and as a "Marine Corps Legend" book by the Marine Corps League.
