Yesterday President Obama awarded a posthumous Medal of Honor to Army Staff Sgt. Jared Monti. Sgt. Monti tried three times to rescue a wounded comrade,
under intense fire each time; the third time saw him killed by a
rocket-propelled grenade. Details in the article give the full picture
of Sgt. Monti's devotion and sacrifice. His heroism has earned the admiration and respect of all civilized Americans, and his family's sacrifice earned everyone's respect as well.
