Ohio and the Medal of Honor World War II Victor Cleary

They say the Medal of Honor is earned, never won. And that those who earned it and survived are protectors of the symbolic significance that makes it America's highest military honor. This holds true with the 28 men from the state of Ohio (and four additional men born in the state) who earned the medal during World War II. By the end of the war, Ohio ranked fourth in total number of Medal of Honor recipients by state. Ohio and the Medal of Honor: World War II (75th Anniversary) chronicles the amazing stories of heroism, leadership and self sacrifice. It also examines the comparative data of Ohio's medal recipients against the averages of the country. As a special bonus, the book includes access to an interactive Google map that highlights exact battlefield locations, monuments, grave locations and points of interest throughout the world associated with each Ohio Medal of Honor Recipient.
