| 520 | |a This is the story of ordinary young men who graduated West Point and went directly into battle. From Sandy Nininger, awarded the first Medal of Honor of World War II for his actions leading Philippine Scouts, to Charlie Fletcher, Ed Rowny, Paul Skowronek, Herb Stern, and others who quickly found themselves leading companies, battalions, and regiments, these young officers struggled with the terror of war and early command. In a postwar era of unprecedented military latitude, they helped shape defense strategy, led development of America{u2019}s rocket programs, and created the theory and practice of helicopter airmobile combat that came to dominate in Vietnam. In Europe, Asia, and with the Soviets, 41ers practiced diplomacy and tradecraft as architects of American Cold War policy. All the while, they clung tightly to tenets of duty and moral courage inculcated at West Point. | ||
