My Take
Learning about Salvatore Giunta genuinely left me at a loss for words. A native of Clinton, Iowa, he saved the lives of his squad members in Afghanistan in 2007 and became the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor since Vietnam. The roll call of his decorations, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, reads like a map of everything he endured. He left the Army in 2011 and went on to study at Colorado State University. The fact that someone could act for others in such extremity carries a weight nothing else does.
