Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti was actually killed in Afghanistan on June 21, 2006. In September 2009, President Obama awarded him the Medal of Honor posthumously.
On his Facebook page this evening, Monti's father, Paul, posted: "FYI- President Barack Obama telephoned me personally this afternoon to apologize for his error in his speech to the 10th mountain division re: Jared's medal ceremony. Apology accepted."

Let me guess. Valarie.
The Showboat-in-chief is an evil, ignorant, ignoramous.
now let’s get him in the history books as a one term President!
I’d rather see him impeached and convicted before then.
I don’t think he was reading the teleprompter this time. What writer would insert all the juvenile and insulting “You guys” references to the troops into a written speech? This was his lousy extemporaneous speaking ability on display and his very clear inability to think like an adult.
The wheels are coming off. The glitterati that surrounded him early on are abandoning ship, leaving only 2nd stringers to keep his pitard hoisted.
“”I’ve been around since Truman and he’s definitely going down as the worst one in my life time so far...””
I think he had to be held at gunpoint to make the call - why can’t he do it right and issue an apology to the entire military? And I’ve been around since FDR so have seen a lot but never before one like this who isn’t even ashamed to show that his priorities are to DESTROY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
I feel your pain...and I’ve had enough the day after he was elected...it’s like a story I heard once...a black guy was being reprimanded for the last time at work...he said you’re firing me because I’m black...the HR person said “No, we hired you because you were black...we’re firing you because your useless!”
I heard that long before the big “O” was elected...
Wasn’t someone going on and on about what a great memory the president had, only had to hear something once, yes, I think it was his wife saying that about him. Apparently it doesn’t include remembering what he himself said.
I’m on your side...he’s a disgrace to this country and the world!
To my knowledge, ABC is the only network to cover this. Jake Tapper is the closest thing to an honest journalist in MSM.
president dumba$$
He kept saying “you guys”, stuttering, and then botched it all.
I really think the guy is a moron. If there is even one insider who isn't committed to Barry's Commie Cause, the stories in the book will be incredible. I bet they just sit him in the corner and let him watch SportsCenter while things are debated.
In order to be disappointed in someone's behavior, you have to have expected better. I would not expect that Obama could do better. He was off his teleprompter. If he were reading from a teleprompter, then you could express disappointment... in his speech writers.
Obama is an empty shell. You can't expect much from such a shallow soul.
Reminds me a bit of someone from Minnesota that refused to make a direct/public apology for her actions...just saying
To hell with the fraud-in-chief and his “appologies”. They’re nothing more than empty words from a pathological liar.
Exactly. He’s a wicked bastard and an apology isn’t going to lessen that fact.
Climb to Glory, 10th Mountain!
And they called Bush stupid.
Obammie the Commie is truly a stupid tool.
But he dances very well at the end of his puppet strings. And he has that FM voice from smoking. So he’s their fair-haired boy.
