Biographies of the two winners of the 1985 Theodore Roosevelt Distinguished Service Medal, Reverend Norman Vincent Peale and Brigadier General Chuck Yeager. The biography of Peale covers his postings as a minister, his publishing and and business ventures with his wife, and his various radio programs. It notes his father’s support of Theodore Roosevelt and lists some of the many awards he has been granted. The biography of Yeager reviews his record as a combat pilot, lists his leadership roles in the United States Air Force, and notes his record breaking achievements as a test pilot, including establishing a new record on his flight to New York for the awards dinner. It also concludes with a catalog of the various awards he has been given.
A photograph of Peale sitting at a desk and a photograph of Yeager standing in front of a F-20 Tigershark fighter aircraft supplement the text.
