(PRLeap.com) "From the Bottom of Our Hearts", a new book by Louis O. Molella, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc."From the Bottom of Our Hearts" tells the extraordinary true story of an African American soldier who served with distinction in a segregated U.S. Army during the Korean War. Killed in action during a brutal battle on Outpost Harry, he made the ultimate sacrifice after rescuing as many as nine wounded comrades under fire.
This powerful account explores his early life, his character and reputation, and his deep commitment to his fellow soldiers. Despite his extraordinary heroism, his actions went unrecognized at the time of his death. Decades later, his bravery was acknowledged with the award of the Silver Star. Finally, in January 2025, after years of dedicated advocacy and perseverance, Charlie was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration.
