Salvatore A. Guinta(born 1985)is a US Army soldier who served in the War in Afghanistan.He is the first living person since the Vietnam War to receive the"Medal of Honor",the highest decoration of the US Armed Forces.Deployed near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border in the"Valley of Death",his company was ambushed by Taliban insurgents.Badly outnumbered,the fierce skirmish prompted Giunta to risk his own life to rescue wounded soldiers.Although struck in the barrage of bullets,he continued to engage the enemy while attempting to assist other wounded soldiers.His acts of bravery not only saved lives, but stopped the engagement.Guinta felt he did not deserve this honor and was not a hero.This book proves him wrong.
