(Nashville, TN) What better way to remember and memorialize our country's heroes
than to hear the stories of this century's soldiers? New York Times bestselling
author Stephen Mansfield has captured some of the most captivating stories of
soldiers since 9/11 in his latest gift book, American Heroes (J Countryman, May
2006).

Your audience/ readers can hear the stories of:
. Corporal Jeffery Starr, who gave his life on Memorial Day 2005 after a sniper's
bullet hit his heart.
. Kenny Vaughan, who created the most popular and inspirational dog tags for
soldiers that have been a source of strength for many an American hero.
. Corporal Rick Garrett, who stood praying in the shower, "God, can you protect me
over here?", shortly before a grenade tore into his building and left him unharmed.

These are the true, but amazing, heart-wrenching, yet inspiring stories of the young
people overseas fighting for the freedoms we hold so dear. It's not too much to ask
that we spend these days commemorating those that fight the good fight and hearing
their stories of bravery and determination.

Stephen Mansfield, known for being one of the most sought after experts on matters
of faith and American culture, is the author of The Faith of George W. Bush, which
sat on the New York Times bestsellers list for several months and sold over a
million copies. He is also the author of The Faith of an American Soldier, with over
250,000 copies sold. Mansfield lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
