This introduction to the life of Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Daniel Fernandez represents the work of four dedicated students from Daniel Fernandez Intermediate School in Los Lunas, New Mexico. Their challenge was to research Daniel’s early life and his service in the early years of the Vietnam conflict, and then to write and illustrate a children’s story on Daniel’s life that could be shared with others in the school community. Over the course of eight months, these fifth and sixth grade students worked weekly with Mrs. Bouts and Mrs. Kastelic to accomplish this task. The result of the students’ work is this book – a story of honor, dedication, and heroism. In addition to Daniel’s story, the history and photos of a student project to establish a memorial center for Daniel at the school are included.
