THEY WERE HEROES A SERGEANT MAJOR'S TRIBUTE TO THE COMBAT MARINES OF IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN

摘要

Do we as a nation show our appreciation and properly recognize the sacrifices our service members make? In They Were Heroes, Sgt. Maj. David Devaney does just that by commemorating the heroism and sacrifices marines made during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. After Devaney's visits with wounded warriors at the Bethesda National Naval Medical Center-now merged with Walter Reed Army Medical Center-he wanted to share their stories with the world. Devaney was encouraged to tell the stories of those heroes after sharing them with the U.S Naval Institute's editorial board for Proceedings magazine.
