"I applaud your courageous efforts to
tell stories of courage and valor of American Troopers who fought
before us and those who follow in their footsteps."
—General David Petraeus
"To understand
what it means to commit body, mind and spirit to the defense
of
our country under the most arduous conditions, we only need to

in George Company's hellish fight reminds us all the cost to
keep alive our experiment in democracy."
—General James N. Mattis, USMC, Commander of U.S. Central
Command

After nearly four months of continuous and agonizing
combat on the battlefields of Korea, such a desperate yet simple

most decorated yet unrecognized companies—it was a wish that
would not come true.
