520    "Discover the amazing stories of sacrifice and courage 
       from twenty-two soldiers who received the Medal of Honor, 
       the nation's highest military award. In the Company of 
       Heroes features in-depth narrative profiles of the twenty-
       two post-9/11 Medal of Honor recipients who served in 
       Afghanistan and Iraq. This book focuses on the stories of 
       these extraordinary individuals, expressed in their own 
       voices through one-on-one interviews, and in the case of 
       posthumous awards through interviews with their brothers 
       in arms and families. The public affairs offices of the 
       Joint Chiefs of Staff and the individual armed services, 
       as well as the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, have 
       expressed their support for this project. Stories include 
       Marine Corps Corporal William "Kyle" Carpenter who 
       purposely lunged towards a Taliban hand grenade in order 
       to shield his buddy from the blast; Navy SEAL Team leader 
       Britt Slabinski, who, after being ambushed and retreating 
       in the Hindu Kush, returned against monumental odds in 
       order to try and save one of his team who was 
       inadvertently lost in the fight; and Ranger Staff Sergeant
       Leroy Petry, who lunged for a live grenade, threw it back 
       at the enemy, and saved his two Ranger brothers. "--
