SSG Salvatore Giunta of 2nd Battalion 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade is only the 9th US Serviceman to receive the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War, and the only one to not have it awarded posthumously.

"Wars are fought with men, not weapons. It is the spirit of the men who fight, and the spirit of the men who lead, which gains the victory." - General George S. Patton, JR.

And that boys and girls, is what's it's all about.
