A real hero does an interview…

EXCLUSIVE: 1st Living Medal of Honor Winner Since Vietnam Tells His Story

America’s first living recipient of the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War says the heroic actions he undertook in Afghanistan are as brave as what every American soldier experiences day in and day out during their tours of duty in that country.

Last week, Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta was named as the first living recipient of America’s highest medal for valor since the start of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The previous seven awards have been posthumous.

In his first broadcast network interview since being named to receive the honor, Giunta told ABC News’ Martha Raddatz that America’s forces in Afghanistan act with “immense bravery” doing “above and beyond anything that should ever be asked of them.”
