Manage episode 354487214 series 3414974
United States Army SSG Giunta showed heroism on the battlefield and saved a fellow soldier from being taken away by enemy fighters during Operation Enduring Freedom. He was the first living Medal of Honor recipient since the Vietnam War and I'm honored to tell you his story.
The book he wrote, which recounts his story, can be found here:
