There were personal stories of respect, gratitude, brotherhood, sacrifice, friendships, and commitment.Most books and articles focus on combat strategies, tactics, and outcome. Little attention is given to events and people that have stayed in the hearts and minds of those who endured the worst of human experiences-war.TRIBUTE is an avenue for our men and women of the armed forces, past and present, to tell their stories honoring others. It also allows friends and family to express their praise and admiration for those so dear to them.Vets have stated that this opportunity to share these narratives has provided a healing process. It is hoped that it will also reassure those who are presently serving in combat, and those who have finished their tours, that they are not alone in their experiences and feelings.TRIBUTE is a unique book of war in which honor is paid to others.
