Heroes in Our Midst
Macon County's Men and Women and Their Families
Author: E. E. "Pete" Nicholls.
Publishing Information: Privately published.
Description: This is a compilation of pictures and stories submitted by veterans in Decatur, Macon County, Illinois. From the cover: "Heroes in our Midst" started out as a book about Gulf War veterans and their families. Each page has pictures and a short story written by the family. I had so many requests from families to include service people of other wars, I finally decided to go ahead and include any veteran of any war who sent a picture in...We are the lucky ones, we fought a war and walked away from it. But we must keep alive the memory of those who didn't."
From the brief biographical sketch provided, and the long list of medals awarded to him, including an Asiatic-Pacific theatre Ribbon with 2 Bronze Battle Stars, Philippine Liberation Ribbon with 2 Bronze Battle Stars, Bronze Star Medal, Silver Star Medal and Purple Heart Medal, it is obvious that Mr. Nicholls is one of the Heroes in our Midst. He designated all profit from the book to go to the Salvation Army. Out of respect for that request and for his courage and service, all proceeds of the sale of this book will be given to the Salvation Army.
