Produktbeschreibung

A COLLECTION OF AMERICAN SOLDIER MILITARY HEROICS JOHN BASILONE War brings out the best and the worst in people. With the United States participating in countless wars over the years, there have been quite a few exceptional soldiers who have been able to shine during combat, having done their due diligence to protect their country and fellow troop members. Giovanni "John" Basilone was a war hero whose actions in the Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima campaigns of the WWII earned him two medals; the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross...This is his story. CHUCK MAWHINNEY Charles "Chuck" Mawhinney holds the record for the most confirmed kills by a United States Marine Corps sniper. He recorded 103 confirmed kills and 216 "probable kills" during his 16 month service in the Vietnam War. The 216 are listed as "probables" because it was too risky to search for the bodies to retrieve weapons and documents...If you take into account that the 216 may be a low estimate and add it to his 103 confirmed kills, Mawhinney may be the most prolific sniper in the history of combat. MELVIN MORRIS Staff Sergeant Melvin Morris is an honored veteran of the Vietnam War. He served almost 30 years in the United States Army and was even part of a Special Forces Group. Brave and excelling at his career in the military, Morris would do two tours of duty in Vietnam before retiring in 1985.
