Medal of Honor - World War II

These are the stories of the men who earned America's highest tribute. Their brave acts of courage are portrayed in Medal of Honor: True Stories of America's Greatest Heroes. Created by Vietnam veterans Patrick Duncan ("84 Charlie MoPic") and Capt. Russ Thurman USMC (Ret.), this groundbreaking series draws intimate and dramatic portraits of ordinary men who, amidst the horror of war, discovered extraordinary courage within themselves.

Stories about the heroes

I prefer books and movies that give me a chance to learn about the soldiers that fought for our country. The Medal of Honor stories gave me a very brief, but important look at those who fought for my freedom. The personal accounts are very well done. I believe all would like to hear the story of each medal of honor recipient. May 22, 2002

War , what is it good for?

I respect the men (and women) who fought for truth, justice and the American way, and gave thier lives. But this documentary is more suited to cable tv than a DVD release.

I admit it is often tear-jerking to hear the reminiscing of the old veterans and what they went through, but it gets a tad dull and boring. The same message of the futility of war can be found in Saving Private Ryan, which is more exciting as an added bonus.

I do NOT recommend this title, catch it on TV, save your pennies and buy some other DVD. August 12, 2000
