This work gives long overdue recognition to the unit whose motto was "Come Out Fighting." It recounts the events that in 1978 -- 33 years after the end of World War II -- led to the 761st Tank Battalion's receiving a Presidential Unit Citation, the highest honor a unit can receive. Also described are the efforts that resulted, in 1997 -- 53 years after giving his life on the battlefield -- in the Medal of Honor being posthumously awarded to Sergeant Ruben Rivers.
