American Heroes: On the Homefront

Combat-decorated Marine Oliver North delivers a riveting firsthand account of the extraordinary young American volunteersâÈ'the best and bravest of their generationâÈ'who stepped forward to defend us from radical Islamic terror. For more than a dozen years North and his award-winning documentary team from FOX News ChannelâÈçs War Stories have traveled to the frontlines of the War on Terror to profile the dedicated men and women who serve our nation in harmâÈçs way and chronicle what it truly means to be a hero. This time, he follows them from the battlefield to the homefront and finds extraordinary inspiration in their triumph over life-altering adversity. In this new volume of his New York Times bestselling American Heroes series, North describes in vivid detail the breathtaking courage, steadfast commitment, and resilient strength of those who serveâÈ'and those who love them. The term âÈêselfless devotionâÈë may be a cliché to many in our modern cultureâÈ'but not to the men and women on the pages of this book. Their stories resound with bravery, a warrior ethos, and spiritual strength that ought to encourage us all. Heroes are people who knowingly place themselves at risk for the benefit of others. They give of themselves, literally and physically. Since the terror attack of 9-11- 01, more than 2 million young Americans have volunteered to serve in difficult and dangerous places. No military force in history has been asked to do more than those who have served and sacrificed in this long fight. They are American heroes. So too are their loved ones here at home. These are their stories.
