DES MOINES, Iowa – A 25-year-old soldier from Iowa who exposed himself to enemy gunfire to try to save two fellow soldiers will become the first living service member from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to receive the Medal of Honor, the White House announced Friday. President Barack Obama phoned Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, on Thursday at the base in Italy where he's stationed to tell him he'd be receiving the nation's highest military honor, Giunta's father told The Associated Press. 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. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama_medal_of_honor His heroics deserves recognition.

He also has a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. It really should be legal to punch people in the face who do not take their hat off for the National Anthem.

Usually this award is given posthumously. A testament to his un-selfishness and selflessness. Extraordinary.

That is great. I wish I could have seen the look on his face when they told him who was on the phone calling to talk to him.

Ladies and gentlemen... and anyone else reading. I actually dreaded opening this thread tonight. I figured after a long day at work, this thread would turn into a political mind field. Im so happy to see so many have not turned this thread from the honor and valor of a young man into a snipping contest. Amazing. I never thought i would see the day when all sides of politics actually could agree on something!
