Tomorrow the President will be presenting the Medal of Honor to the 2nd living recipient since the Vietnam War. SFC Leroy Petry will have that blue ribbon hung around his neck in what will surely be a news stopping White House moment. SFC is a Ranger and is dam proud of it. He has many deployments under his belt, but there is one selfless action that warranted him to be a recipient of the Medal of Honor.
If you would like to read a detailed description of what that action was, along with computer generated graphics, check out http://www.army.mil/medalofhonor/petry/battlescape.html#scene1
That will walk you through the entire situation as it developed and explain in great detail what he did to warrant this deserving recognition tomorrow.
