The e-book is about Charles L Gilliland, Medal
of Honor Recipient.


Charles was with I Company, 7th Infantry
Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division in Korea when
he lost his life on April 25, 1951 during the
heavy fighting at Tongmang-ni. He was an
automatic weapons infantryman who blunted a
heavy assault on his unit while sustaining
wounds. He stayed to protect the retreat of his
fellow soldiers, an action that resulted in
mortal wounds.


The author recounts the childhood of Charles,
growing up in Yellville, Arkansas, a rural
farming community. The story follows Charles
into the Army and his training and shares
letters, insights by his family and friends,
all leading up to the heroic one man stand
which saved his buddies.
