By Honor Bound is the powerful and moving story of two Medal of Honor recipients, written by New York Times bestselling author Dick Couch.
“Delivers cracking-good minute-by-minute descriptions of two SEAL missions rich in suspense, with technically accurate fireworks and undeniable heroism.” —HistoryNet
In April of 1972, near the end of the Vietnam War, SEAL Lieutenant Tom Norris performed an unprecedented ground rescue of two American airmen who were shot down behind enemy lines in North Vietnam, a feat for which he would be awarded the Medal of Honor. Just six months later, Norris was sent on a dangerous special reconnaissance mission that would take his team deep into enemy territory. In the running gun battle that ensued, Lieutenant Norris was severely wounded; a bullet entered his left eye and exited the left side of his head. SEAL Petty Officer Mike Thornton, under heavy fire, fought his way back onto a North Vietnamese beach to rescue his officer—an act of heroism that earned him the Medal of Honor as well.
This is the true story of two living American legends who entered military service and the Navy SEAL teams for vastly different reasons—and were thrown together for a single combat mission that would define their lives.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this due to the ease of understanding the story; whilst not getting too involved in the manusha of the politics of the time. It was an incredble journey into the actions that define true heroism, courage, and grace under fire.What was one of the most memorable moments of By Honor Bound?
When Mike; against the advice and suggestion of his team went back for his fallen team mate Tom with the ethos of "No Man Left Behind"What does Jeff Gurner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The pronunciations of the cities and towns in Vietnam, combined with a reverence to the story as a friend to these heroes.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
