    I think the most riviting book I ever read was "Medal of honor the men the deeds" Gave it to a pal of mine who was a tunnel rat in Nam. Tracy Gerdon God rest his soul was the shortest marine enlisted at the time of service.Never knew of his acommidations until I read his read obit. Tried to find it to share can't.
