Download or read book American Warrior written by Gary O'Neal and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epic story of one of America's greatest soldiers, Ranger Hall of Fame member Gary O'Neal, who served his country for forty years Chief Warrant Officer Gary O'Neal is no ordinary soldier. For nearly forty years, he has fought America's enemies, becoming one of the greatest Warriors this nation has ever known. Part Native American, O'Neal was trained in both military combat and the ways of his native people, combining his commitment to freedom with his respect for the enemy, his technical fighting skills with his fierce warrior spirit. From his first tour in Vietnam at seventeen to fighting in both Gulf wars, O'Neal was nothing less than a super soldier. A minefield of aggression bordering on a justice-seeking vigilante, O'Neal kept fighting even when wounded, refusing to surrender in the face of nine serious injuries and being left more than once. O'Neal earned countless military honors as a member of the elite Army Rangers corps, a founding member of the legendary first Department of Defense antiterrorist team, a member of the Golden Knights Parachuting Team, and more, devoting his life to training the next generation of soldiers. His unbelievable true stories are both shocking and moving, a reminder of what it means to be a true American hero. In O'Neal's own words, he "wasn't born a warrior"—life made him one. American Warrior will serve as inspiration for American men and women in uniform today, as well as appeal to the countless veterans who served their country alongside O'Neal.
Download or read book The Varsity written by Asbury Brown and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-21 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Varsity is a fictional story based on true accounts of America's youngest warriors during WW II. Today it is estimated that over 100,000 adolescents, 12 to 16, willingly forfeited the sweetness of their youth to combat the ruthless ambitions of Axis powers. The story's two main characters drop out of high school in 1941/42 during their sophomore year to enlist the Army and Marines.Leaving behind the end zones of Peninsula High. Entering the kill zones of Europe and the Pacific, the two best friends realize they are on a horrific express train with no stops. It is also when they face not only the terror of mortal combat but severe penalties should true ages be discovered. To meet these challenges, they adopt the core of a warrior's ethic: learning to soldier on. At war's end, the two best friends return to Point Loma, California and---still teenagers---re-enter high school to earn diplomas and take advantage of the GI Bill. Their travails are not over as new conflicts emerge from jealous seniors, a hostile PTA, and insensitive teachers. To avoid the banalities of senior year hi-jinx, the two GIs become co-captains of a perennially losing varsity squad and transform it into a championship contender. Varsity is more than just another war story of blood and valor as it explores: love beyond romance, touches upon shell shock---the precursor of PTSD---and asks if there are any core military values that have application in peacetime. It is a story that required a decade to meticulously research for historical fidelity and its fictional characters are amalgams of genuine underage veterans of the most lethal episode in human history. To gain perspective, the author interviewed nearly a hundred Veterans of Underage Military Service known as VUMS. For most VUMs, they held their secret until 1991 when amnesty was awarded by the US Department of Defense. As Tom Brokaw once said "...it is time their story is told."
Download or read book America s Youngest Ambassador written by Lena Nelson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1982, amid the nuclear paranoia that engulfed the US and the Soviet Union, Samantha Smith, a fifth grader from Manchester, Maine, wrote a letter to the Kremlin asking the Soviet leader if he was going to start a war. When Pravda, the biggest Soviet newspaper, published her letter—and Samantha received an unprecedented invitation to visit the Soviet Union —her family embarked on a historic journey that helped transform the hearts and minds of two nations on a collision course. Today, a nuclear war seems like a possibility once again. The story of a young American girl’s letter to the Soviet leader and her innocent curiosity about the other side of the Iron Curtain holds an important lesson for every American: to never stop questioning the status quo, and to recognize that the responsibility for the preservation of peace is not only the purveyance of the government. America’s Youngest Ambassador provides insights into a forgotten era and has an important message for young people who strive to be more involved in facilitating change, both locally and worldwide. Juxtaposing Samantha’s narrative with that of her own childhood in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, Lena Nelson explores the consequences of government propaganda on both sides of the ocean and reveals how Samantha Smith’s journey in the summer of 1983 helped melt the hearts of the Soviets and thaw the ice of the Cold War. Drawing on interviews conducted in both the US and Russia with key players in the events of those days, among them Samantha’s mother Jane, Nelson blends storytelling, anecdotes, and analysis of Soviet-American relations to tell the story of this unprecedented moment in history.
