An anthology of true heroic stories featuring acts of courage during hazardous circumstances. "He Went Over the Hill" recounts PFC Wilbur Washington's brave solo mission to take and secure an enemy-held hill near Sate-Korea during the Korean War, despite orders to hold back and regroup. "I Was Over There to Help Stop the Fighting" is a first-person account by a soldier who served in Japan and Korea, detailing his experiences from landing in September through combat operations, including his role as an Aid man caring for wounded soldiers. "River Loses Victim" tells of Milton A.
