Description
In 1945, President Harry Truman decorated George Wahlen with the Medal of Honor to recognize his bravery on Iwo Jima. Wahlen's medal citation reads like a rejected John Wayne movie script too grand to be believed. Those who witnessed his heroics remain dumbfounded he survived. For over 60 years, he has been the quintessential quiet hero. After decades of silence, Bob Dole (foreword) and Senator Orrin Hatch (introduction) help tell this incredible untold story.
