PROFILES IN COURAGE |
TRUE STORIES OF AMERICAN HEROES |
This site is dedicated to the "Spirit of American Greatness". This is not something special, it is something within the heart of all who believe in the principles of individual freedom established by our founding fathers in 1776. Many of the stories you will enjoy here will tell tales of courage in battle. We hope in time to present the stories of ALL living Medal of Honor recipients, as well as other heroes who DID NOT receive this high award. But courage is revealed not only in battle, but in daily life as well. Here you will meet men and women, boys and girls of every race, size, and walk of life. Let these true accounts of how ordinary people, people just like you, found within their heart the ability to reach beyond their limits and do the unthinkable; inspire you to strive for dreams and goals unthinkable. You are limited only by what you are willing to believe in. |
