Yorba Linda, CA – Andrew Breitbart of Big Government this evening on Move America Forward’s 3rd Annual Troopathon ([url=http://www.troopathon.org]http://www.troopathon.org[/url]) broke the news that SSG Salvatore Giunta, a paratrooper w/ the 173rd Airborne, is likely to be the first living Medal of Honor recipient since the Vietnam War.
Giunta earned this by charging a group of Taliban who were trying to make off with a wounded fellow soldier in the Korengal Valley of Afghanistan. His actions broke the Taliban’s attack and allowed him to regain control of SGT Josh Brennan. He also saved the lives of the many other members of his unit who had been caught in a near ambush by the Taliban. Giunta didn’t hesitate one second before advancing on his own to ensure the enemy would never take one of ours.
It has been far too long since we have awarded the Medal of Honor to someone who survived, and SSG Giunta is a wonderful addition to the ranks of those who have earned our country’s highest honor. There are a number of others under consideration for this decoration and hopefully this is a sign that more of these brave warriors will be recognized. We have heard this was approved by the White House and they are only waiting to set a date for the ceremony.
The Troopathon – at this moment broadcasting live from the Nixon Presidential Library - salutes SSG Giunta and all who serve or have served our country. The previous two Troopathons have raised over 2 million dollars and our organization has sent over 160 TONS of Care Packages to Troops serving overseas.
