Duty & Valor - Military Stories of Courage and Sacrifice

[Audio Podcast] US Army SSG Salvatore Giunta - Medal of Honor Recipient during Operation Enduring Freedom

SSG Giunta showed heroism on the battlefield and saved a fellow soldier from being taken away by enemy fighters. 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 https://amzn.to/3YfJAVQ
