Afghanistan War
The 2003 Cedar Rapids Kennedy High School graduate was presented the Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama at a White House ceremony on Nov. 16, 2010.
Citing official accounts of the battle, Obama said Giunta repeatedly risked his life to save the other men in his unit when they were attacked by a numerically superior Taliban force in Afghanistan.
The initial salvos killed Mendoza, the squad’s medic, and riddled its point man, Brennan, with at least six gunshot wounds.
Giunta coordinated the squad’s defense and repeatedly charged through enemy rounds, first to assist the squad leader and then to rescue Brennan, killing and wounding the two Taliban fighters who were dragging away his close personal friend.
Brennan later died of his wounds while being transported from the battlefield.
Among the other Medal winners to back Romney was George “Bud” Day, formerly of Sioux City.""
BTTT
There are only 81 living MOH recipients so Romney has got a little more than half of them. Pretty remarkable.
Alternative Universe Headline............OBAMA ENDORSED BY 42 NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNERS.....LAMESTREAM MEDIA TRUMPETS ENDORSEMENT AS PROOF OF LEADERSHIP SKILLS
Romney was in Northern VA today warning that sequestration will result in the loss of 130k military jobs, and why wasn’t Obama doing what was needed to save the miltary. It was VERY effective...he should stick to it.
This is nothing. I’m sure obammy has the endorsement of several hundred dead Medal of Honor recipients.
The problem with Romney is that he always (eventually) SAYS the right thing...
