War Heroes: Voices from Iraq, is based on the stories of courageous Marines taking part in dangerous operations. Some are about medics saving their comrades. Others are about infantry men wiping out insurgents and saving their platoon. My favorite is about a sniper who is being pinned down with heavy gun fire. He saves civilians and his wounded comrades. He couldn't believe the insurgents were firing from a Mosque, a holy place. In the end, he saved many lives, both civilians and his soldiers.

This book is based on the brave soldiers that put their life at risk for the sake of fallen comrades. These soldiers have achieved these awards through blood and sweat. Without these soldiers, our country won't of been as successful as it's now. The first soldier in the spotlight is Sergeant Scott Montoya. At the age of thirty-three and going five times into the kill zone to retrieve fallen comrades. He also ran into the kill zone again to retrieve some injured civilians. He has earned this medal in every way possible. Along with his Navy Cross, he was awarded he earned the Naval Achievement Medal for training eight hundred and fifty marines martial arts.
This book is very fun to read with all the action and real life situations. These Marines deserved these medals for either protecting fallen or injured comrades or saving their life so they could go back to their families. I personally like corpsman the most because they are one of the few people that risk their lives to save other soldiers, enemy or comrades. The reason I gave this book a 5 star was because I love military and history they're the dynamic duo. I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read more of this series. This book involved so much sacrifice for the heroes and for the wounded. I am so grateful to have these men and women as my heroes. I highly recommend for kids at the age of 10 and up to read this.
