GIANT Soldiers Of War

Discover two incredible tales of bravery and heroism!
First, meet Woodrow Keeble, a full-blooded Sioux warrior from North Dakota, who displayed extraordinary courage during the Korean War. Despite numerous wounds, he single-handedly took out three enemy machine gun nests, earning the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously. His story highlights the immense contributions of Native American soldiers.
Then, learn about Germany's Long Jake, a towering figure whose feats of valor and strength during World War II have become legendary. His remarkable journey and acts of heroism showcase the resilience and bravery of soldiers in the face of adversity.
