"Photo of the Silver Star"

The Story Behind The Silver Star – Photo by The U.S. Army

The late Marc Lee is the author.  He was awarded the Silver Star, the Purple Heart, and the Bronze Star with Valor for his actions in Iraq in 2006.  Read more on the website that his mother started, America’s Mighty Warriors.
