Bravery Under Fire



I Walked with Heroes, the book authored by Jerry Guzzetta isn’t just a stack of tales and anecdotes that resemble any movie scene, rather it is a great storytelling masterpiece that outlines the sacrifices military personnel make, and the grit they show once they step foot on the battlefield.

We’ll look into the segment where one of those brave men covered in the book is highlighted. The resilient story of Sergeant Gary M. Rose, who portrayed extraordinary selflessness to ensure that his comrade is protected from the enemy’s outburst of gunshots, and other destructive weapon, risking his life to safeguard others.

Sergeant Rose went deep into the enemy territory to ensure the safety of his fellow soldiers, which in itself is an act of bravery, but what adds another layer of great resilience, and courage is the wounds he had caught due to the attacks, and despite those wounds causing him intense ache and pain, he continued on his way to rescue his camaraderie, travelling as long as 50 meters in their zone. He put his body on the line, using it as a shield to protect his fellows from any other casualties and wounds, making the scene look like something from an action-packed movie. The author Jerry Guzzetta appreciates the valiant fighters of our country, and pays a heartfelt tribute to them by covering their stories, ensuring that they remain alive in the hearts and the minds of the readers, and the public in general.

He then speaks of the consistency with which Sergeant Rose was working under fierce attacks from the enemy forces. Sergeant Rose moved tirelessly for two days in the enemy’s den, and his acts of courage inside the enemy territory provided rescue and necessary aid to half of the injured soldiers single handedly.

The book I Walked with Heroes penned by Jerry Guzzetta is a compilation of acts of courage and grit that were shown by the author himself, and other members of the U.S army. The book aims to enlighten the audience about the consequences of a war, which is witnessed first hand by the soldiers and militia.
