| My Dad, since deceased, was a member of the Chosin
Few, and served with the 1st Marines. I recall his re-occurring
nightmares of his experience at the Chosin. Being 8 or 10 years old and
hearing your Dad screaming in the middle of the night is a disturbing
experience, and something I'll never forget. Getting him to talk to me
about his experiences was like pulling teeth, but became a cleansing
process for him and taught me, at a young age, to respect and appreciate
what our vets have gone through. God Bless you all. Neale Donahue Email: nealedonahue-at-hotmail-dot-com Wrentham, MA |
| This is an outstanding website. I
learned a lot and enjoy reading about the recipients. Thank you for
honoring these great Americans. Terry MacDonald Sturgeon Bay, WI |
| Jack R. York was my father, He was a radio announcer
before going in the army at 18 years old. Went to Vietnam and in 1963
left, and was stationed in Fort Lewis Washington where he met my mom
Lou. Then went to join the exercise Desert Strike in Arizona. He died in
a car train wreck, and there were a total of four men in the car on May
5th 1964. He was shotgun. One person survived. Who don't know!? He had
just two months to get out of the military, and then I was born on the
second of November. I found his family about a year ago according to one
of his siblings its been put away for so long. Made me feel like people
do forget, and the one person who never knew him (me) thinks of him
every day of his life. I feel I brought him to life again with a tribute
page so please stop by sometime and visit. Its about my father Jack and
my children, my pets, and I. His picture is the first you will see.
Thank you. It is the URL I have listed. Daisy York Email: daisyyork-at-gmail-dot-com Homepage: www.geocities.com/daisyyork1 Shoreline, WA |
| Thank you for this sight. My
Grandfather gave his life in the Korean War. He was not a great war
hero, but my hero. He loved his country. It is his actions and selfless
action like the ones I have read on this sight that inspired me to
enlist in the U.S. Navy. God Bless America!!! Justin T. Evans Email: bp475-at-hotmail-dot-com Norfolk, VA |
| I love this site. My uncles served during WW II and my
husband served during Viet Nam. I would like to find out more information on soldiers from Oklahoma.

| I shipped out to Vietnam in January, 1966 assigned to
the 2nd of the 13th Artillery. When I arrived in Saigon I was
interviewed and then reassigned to the 27th DPU due to my previous
experience with computers and programming. I spent 13 months in country
and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Meritorious Achievement in
Ground Operations Against Hostile Forces in the Republic of Vietnam. I
don't consider myself a hero, but I am a hard worker and was very
flattered to receive this medal. Thank you for rooting out the imposters
and exposing them for what they are. Roy "John" Bellman (Army SP5) Email: bellmr03-at-msn-dot-com McHenry, IL Homepage: http://www.jbellman.com |
| Thanks, My father, Harold M. Burke,
was also wounded at Heart Break Cross Roads. The second group of
soldiers sent out to cut the fenceline under intense machine gun and mortars
and bitter weather. He was one of two wounded but manage to return and
report their success. Stars and Stripes reported this and we have a copy
that was in my Mothers belongings. Perhaps yours and mine may have known
each other. What a great generation they were. Harold & my Mother
divorced when I was six and I was raised by my step-father and took his
name. I was not aware of Harold's service and wounds until recent. My
sister and I have covered a lot of the Indian Heads history since
learning of our fathers past. Thanks for the website. Ronald Harold (Burke)Bigler Email: rbigler60-at-hotmail-dot-com Rocherter, PA |
| My late uncle, Ambrosio Guillen, SSGT, USMC, is
recipient (posthumously) of Medal of Honor, for action during the Korean
conflict. Thank you for the privilege and honor of signing this special
guestbook, and in defense of a cause as precious as liberty -- the
salute to the brave men who bore the weight of their flag and honor of
their country and followed them into battle. Ramon A. Guillen, MSG, USAF (Ret), El Paso, TX |
| Doug, I give you my heart felt and
profound thanks for your efforts in keeping alive the memories of the
heroics and sacrifices made by these brave members of our military. I

members of this generation, but also those of our future generations can
learn about the great personal deeds of these wonderful men! Joe Annello, CSM, USA (ret) Email: joeannello-at-comcast-dot-net Castle Rock, CO |
| I was not born an American citizen--thus, I became
one. My background is Latino. Yes, we have discrimination in this
country, but we also have example of valor, sacrifice and dignity. I am
in tears, and I don't know why!, but this website should give courage
and motivate all citizen who one time or another we have come and found
prejudice in this land that AMERICA is also FREE by the merit and
sacrifice of all these men that gave their lives for all of us. Go for
BROKE!!!, never surrender to prejudice. Roger A. Mayorga Email: rmayorga1-at-hotmail-dot-com Springfield, VA |

| Bravo! This is a wonderful tribute. It's very sad that
many of these men had passed away before receiving their well deserved
Metal of Honor. I had tears in my eyes through the entire presentation.
Tomorrow afternoon, in Denver, there is a screening of a movie at the
Denver Film Society which is a sold out event. I'm glad I bought my
tickets early. It is directed by Lane Nishikawa, called "Only The
Brave". I best bring my hankie if it is anything like your site.

| Our school, Saint Cloud High School,
Saint Cloud, Florida, had an extraordinary visitor on November 8, 2005.
SFC Sammy L. Davis, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient visited our
school to talk to our students about duty, honor and Country. SFC Davis
talked about his experiences in Vietnam in 1967 and how he overcame the
greatest of adversities to aid his fellow soldiers on the battlefield.
His extraordinary courage in the face of eminent loss of life earned him
the Country's highest honor, the Congressional Medal of Honor. SFC Davis
spoke to over 600 captivated students with sincerity, clarity, and
wisdom that I have personally never witnessed. He is a true American who
cares about the youth of our Nation. Our gratitude and appreciation of
his visit can not be expressed in words. Thank you once again SFC Davis
for your service to our Nation! Lt. COL Thomas G. Donnelly, US Army (Ret) Email: donnellt-at-osceola.k12.fl-dot-us St. Cloud, FL Homepage: http://www.schs.osceola.k12.fl.us/d_jrotc_main.html |
| Was at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington,
D.C. on Monday where I visited the Military Medical Family Assistance
Center and had lunch in the Dining Facility where the wounded, that can
get around, also have lunch. The wounded personnel have great attitudes.
The overall most important item they need are phone cards. The phone
companies give them cards with very limited times but they need to be
able to talk longer than a few minutes. Especially with the Thanksgiving
and Christmas season coming soon.
To make sure items get to the Military Medical Family Assistance
Center use the following address: Below is a list of needed items: Billy Smith, Stafford, VA |
| I am a prior service Marine and
Desert Storm Veteran. I have started a blog at http://womeninthemilitary.blogspot.com

| I saw the article on the P.T.K. Golden Newsbriefs
about the paper Pamla wrote concerning medal fraud, and I was amazed to
find out people actually LIE about being a medal recipient ~ how cruel
and callous to pretend to be something you are obviously not! I applaud
your efforts in getting legislation passed to prosecute these imposters.
I will contact my rep & congressman and request they support the
bill. I am very impressed with your website and have added it to my
favorites list, not only to just check and see what's going on, but I'm
starting to research my family history and there are several links that
will assist me ~ Thanks for all the great information!! Joyce Schemonia Email: Joyce.Schemonia-at-PTK-dot-org Traverse City, MI |

and so many would die to have just a small taste of it. May God bless
all of them as he has blessed us as a nation to have them as our Heroes. John C. McCaddin Jr. Email: jaymccaddin-at-hotmail.com Mobile, AL |
| Fallen heroes of the past that willfully donated their

| Great Site I would like to honor my
hero, mentor and idol, 1ST SGT Reed Buchanan US Army (retired) Dad
served for 21 years (1935-1956) He fought in WW2 in the 25th division
65th Combat Engineers and saw action at Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal and
the Solomon Islands He passed this past April at age 88. He was a good
honest hardworking and decent man as well as a loving husband, father
and Grandfather. The greatest honor I ever got was being told I was just
like my Dad. To me there is no higher honor than that. I would also like
to mention my Grandfather SGT John Kiely 304th infantry 76th division
WW1 - my great grandfather PVT Ellis Etters 13th Pennsylvania Cavalry -
Civil War (and his 5 brothers too!) and my GGGGrandfather Andre Etters
Pennsylvania Milita Revolutionary War. I'm proud that their blood flows
in my veins. But I feel that I am not worthy. Thanks for hearing me out. Kevin Email: PACAVALRY13TH-at-aol.com Connecticut |
| Great web site you have, Douglas. I got your site from
a friend. My dad was in the company A, 26th reg, 1st infantry division.
His stories have helped me to realize the importance of my own will. And
your site too. I will be using your site to help my kids and myself
utilize the resources for a better future, so that some day we can give
back just as you are. Thanking you. Victor Blair Email: vblair-at-yahoo.com Dover, NH |
| Thank you for the most inspirational
site I have seen. You lovingly tell the stories of the all the soldiers.
I am the sister of S/Sgt John Gary Gertsch. He was my hero long before

his love for his "brothers" out weighed anything else in his
life. reashfo-at-yahoo.com New York, NY |

| I am amazed, truly amazed. As a German it is kind of
hard to be proud of war heroes for obvious reasons. Although war is
always the wrong choice, I believe in the ARMY very strongly and I'm
glad for those MOH heroes ( amongst many other never mentioned heroes ).
I am glad you make sure they're not forgotten for their actions are
beyond camaraderie and brotherhood. I thank all of you for your courage,
believe and strong will. Frank Mainzinger Email: frank.mainzinger-at-gmx-dot-de Flensburg, Germany Wednesday, September 28, 2005 |

| Doug, Thank you for the Home of Heroes web site. This
past Saturday, 9-17-05 I was honored to participate in the rededication
of the grave site of Charles H. Seston in New Albany, Indiana. Sgt.
Seston was a Civil War recipient of the Medal of Honor for his actions
at Winchester, VA. Don Morfe, who is becoming legendary for his efforts
in locating the burial sites of the MOH recipients, was instrumental in
obtaining a new stone for Sgt. Seston and an official MOH tombstone was
installed and dedicated on the 17th. Our country is fortunate to have
people like Doug Sterner and Don Morfe who really care about preserving
our history. Keep up the good work !! PG PG Gentrup Email: pggentrup-at-aep-dot-com Rising Sun, Indiana Tuesday, September 20, 2005 |
| In a time where one has to fight to get
help for a disabled vet by a government that keeps turning its back, it
is always refreshing to hear when somewhere in the United States,
that justice is served. It is hard enough for those who have gone to
battle to receive what they deserve, it is even harder for them to
stomach the likes of those who boast of glory in battle who never even
left US soil. John Sutton Email: jsutton-at-thecookinginn-dot-com Homepage: www.thecookinginn.com Pueblo West, CO Wednesday, July 27, 2005 |

| I think your logic is flawed in
wanting to allow legislation to prosecute people who falsely claim to
have military medals. you forget that those who died fighting were
fighting for freedom, in a free country we can say what we want even if
it is a lie. i have the highest respect for those who fight in our wars
my father is building a million dollar memorial in our hometown for
those who died. i think you should fight a different fight, like the
fight to stop war. jeff stewart french Email: emceeoroville-at-gmail-dot-com Chico, CA Monday, July 25, 2005 |

| What a great site. Normally not my thing, but I found
it by way of the Brian Chontosh article. Pity not more of these stories
get around. I'm an American living in Australia and thought this was a
good way to post a thank you to all our men and women of the armed
forces, past, present and future. Thanks for your bravery, determination
and unselfishness that provides me and my family with the freedom we
know and cherish. Addie Fores Mitchell Email: addie-at-adelaidemulch-dot-com.au Adelaide, SA, Australia Thursday, July 21, 2005 |

| Though not American, I have been very moved by the
stories and the concepts of this site, freedom and democracy will never
be something received for free, somebody somewhere must pay a high price
for it, these people whom I have read about here, have given their lives
to make America the land of the free and they give meaning to
that..."home of the brave..." Keep up the good work. Carlos R. Moraga Email: chuckchil-at-hotmail-dot-com Santiago, Chile Thursday, July 21, 2005 |

Honor for those heroes. Part of my project as Gunner's Mate Chief Select

| What happened in Indianapolis, Indiana to Sammy Davis
is a shame and a shame felt by every veteran that has had the opportunity
to have meet him. I hope that his medal is found and the thief is
punished to the fullest extent of the law. James D. Gootee (USMC RET,) Email: gunny56_63-at-comcast-dot-net Indianapolis, IN Saturday, July 16, 2005 |
| I would like to say thanks for a
great site, I have been here quite a lot and will continue to return
often, However in reading some of the comments in this guestbook I've
seen it stated to many times that he is the winner of the MOH, or other
medals, I don't ever remember during the 21.5 years I served in the
military of there ever being a contest in which someone could win a
medal of any kind, I am sure if it was awarded, it was EARNED. I just learned of a JUDGE that was displaying 2 MOH award's on his wall in his chambers, From what I understand it can only be issued one time and he was not even awarded that, also just recently a WW2 vet wore the MOH to a ceremony that he purchased in a pawn shop, I think scum like this should be put on a plane & sent to Iraq direct into the combat zone for one year for every MOH they claim. They are a disgrace to our country, our military and most of all to the men or women who earn and are awarded the CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OH HONOR DEARL D BROWN Email: hutchfox-at-aol-dot-com Hutchinson, KS Sunday, July 03, 2005 |
| Many thanks for Doug's help in busting another MOH
imposter in Caseville, Michigan. A mr. Kovich masqueraded many times
both in army uniforms and naval uniforms thru the years displaying not
only the MOH but a Navy cross, silver star, bronze star, ect. It is
because of this website that concerned vets contacted Doug and were
directed from there to law enforcement officials. The current outcome of
Mr. Kovich is pending. This can be viewed at the local paper, www.michigansthumb.com

| In 1996 My wife and I attended the
MOH annual meeting in Philadelphia, Pa. In which the Bob Hope attend and
the Bob Hope award was presented. I was able to buy a book with all the
MOH citations and had the great privilege to have several recipients
sign their citations. One particular MOH recipient brought home the true
meaning of the Medal. As he signed my book he looked at me and grabbed
my arm and said "remember one thing, thousands of men did as much
and more then me and no one will ever know what they did". Vincent T. Lowry Email: vlowry-at-vtlassociates-dot-com Philadelphia, PA Tuesday, May 31, 2005 |

small talk. My dad enjoyed more than any thing going to the VA. Vets

| There aren't enough Web sites or
other means that can ever do justice to all the fine men from this great
country, (especially those who made the supreme sacrifice), these men
are a special breed. This site is another welcome undertaking so our
loved ones who came home or went to our heavenly father are being
remembered. In one week we will be publicly showing our gratitude all
across this nation, and I would ask that everyone get out there on
Memorial Day, shake the hand of a Veteran and just say "THANK
YOU", those two little words go along way; I am a Korean Vet from
the Chosin Resevoir era, a member of the Chosin Few who survived that

thank the heroes in our lives. This is a follow up to my entry in the
2004 guestbook dated September 28, 2004 in which I honor my father,
Malcolm Little, Sr. for his sacrifices and service in the Army's 4th
Division on Utah Beach. Just remembered that dad traveled to France in
1995 to receive a special medal and recognition for his service from the
French government. Dad will be 90 years young in August of this year,
and he is still going strong. As mentioned in my previous guestbook
post, he sacrificed a promising professional baseball career to serve
our great country. After supposedly retiring from many years of
employment, dad returned to his hometown of Pembroke, Maine to serve as
a Selectman for the Township, a leader in the local American Legion
post, and a faithful member of the Masonic Lodge. Dad is truly part of
the great generation to which we commonly refer nowadays, as a result of
which he has always be! en an inspiration and role model to me. Even in
supposed retirement, dad was and is faithfully serving others and we are
very proud of him. The physical wounds in dad's right arm never deterred
him from an exemplary, honorable, and faithful life. We love you, dad, and are very proud of you. Malcolm L. Little, Jr. Email: drmlittle-at-hotmail-dot-com Brewer, ME Monday, April 18, 2005 |

| Does anyone remember John A Bentley?
His nickname was Tex. John died on Iwo Jima, March 27th 1945, he was a
flame thrower, John was also a paratrooper, and a corporal in the 5th
division Marine's. Please if anyone thinks they remember him e-mail me.
John was born in Kittanning, Pa. He was my uncle, his whole family is
now gone but for a brother who I wish to try to get some type of info
for as today this day he can't rest thinking of Johnny. His death was a
nightmare for the whole family none of them ever got over it, and the
pain was past on to the next generation as well. Nancy Grossman Email: nancy_grossman@hotmail.com Easton, PA Monday, January 03, 2005 |

| I just got my first letter from KWVM
(the cause) so I'm not too far into what's available; I'm sure I'll be
back many times. What I have seen is very interesting. Maybe here I
might find information on " The Frozen Chosin" and possibly
locate some of the men from K Co 3rd Bn 31st Regt 7th Div; with a couple
of exceptions all I know is I am one of the 385 out of the 31st Regt
(3100 men to a Regt) who made it out of there. After Dec 2, I never saw
any of the guys I was with in the 1st Plt machinegun squad; just
recently I heard of a couple possibilities I intend to peruse to find
anyone or learn of what happened to them. Pro Patria and stay warm John John A Smart Sr Email: smaj71-at-juno-dot-com Haverhill, MA |
