Medal of Honor

I saw this on the news this evening: this soldier was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Obama yesterday.  He's recognized for grabbing a live gernade during combat and throwing it, saving two fellow soldiers, but losing his right hand.


On the news they also showed that his prosthetic arm has a plaque with the names of the 75 men in his unit who were killed in battle.
