#2 I have some do-dads on my chest but nothing as grand as a MOH. I salute this man because I KNOW you get medals for the things you do almost every day, only this time an osifer reported it.
The man is a true Hero.

#4 "They said we were soft, that we would not fight, that we could not win. We are not a warlike nation. We do not go to war for gain or for territory; we go to war for principles, and we produce young men like these. I think I told every one of them that I would rather have that medal, the Congressional Medal of Honor, than to be President of the United States." - Harry S. Truman

#5 I would have much rather had this prestigious award presented to SSG Giunta by an American, but that is just me. I salute SSG Giunta. Thank God the Army is full of young men and women just like him.

#6 If one is mature and professional, then one understands the Office is presenting it, not the man.
