The Extraordinary Valor of Jack C. Montgomery: A Cherokee War Hero's Story
Jack Montgomery is the inspiring true story of a Cherokee from Oklahoma who became a war hero and Medal of Honor recipient during World War II. As a first lieutenant with the 45th Infantry Division Thunderbirds, Montgomery displayed incredible courage near Padiglione, Italy on February 22, 1944. When his rifle platoon came under fire from three echelons of enemy forces, Montgomery single-handedly attacked all three positions, neutralizing the German machine-gunners and capturing numerous prisoners. His actions demoralized the enemy and saved the lives of many American soldiers.
This riveting chapter book brings to life Montgomery's extraordinary heroism and is part of the Medal of Honor series, which profiles recipients of the U.S. military's highest decoration awarded for valor. Perfect for young readers interested in military history, Native American heroes, and stories of bravery from the Second World War.
