Salvatore Giunta Awarded Medal of Honor

Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Obama on Tuesday for his actions in Afghanistan. In 2007 while caught in an ambush, Giunta pulled away soldiers from Taliban insurgents. Giunta is the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor, the highest award, since the Vietnam War. Giunta accredits his Medal winning to all those he fought with in the past, especially those whom gave their life to serve the nation.
