Accurate, and respectful of their service

Military books are held to a high standard. The branch, rank, insignia, awards, units and era you give are used exactly as you give them.

  • No invented service history, medals or decorations
  • Uniforms and insignia drawn to match the branch and period you choose
  • The same facts for every reader age – only the telling changes
  • Nothing is printed until you approve the final proof

Questions

Who makes the book?

What does it cost?

You can create an account, answer the questions and see your book take shape before paying. The price is shown clearly before checkout, and nothing is charged until you place your order.

Can I save my progress and come back later?

Yes. Your answers are saved as you go. Sign in to your MyHeroLegacy account at any time to continue, review your proof, order or reorder.
