Giunta went above and beyond the call of duty when he exposed himself to enemy fire to pull a fellow soldier back to cover. He engaged the enemy again when he saw two insurgents carrying away a wounded soldier, 22-year-old Sgt. Joshua C. Brennan, of McFarland, Wis. Giunta killed one insurgent and wounded the other before tending to Brennan, who died the next day.

There are no real American heroes in Washington D.C. They or their families only go there to pick up the Medal of Honor and then they leave.

Too bad the medal will have been touched by Obama’s unworthy hands before he gets it.

Thanks driftdiver.
President Barack Obama phoned Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, on Thursday at the base in Italy...He will become the eighth service member to receive the Medal of Honor during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The seven previous medals were awarded posthumously.
