President Obama Awards Captain Florent A. Groberg, U.S. Army (Ret), the Medal of Honor for Conspicuous Gallantry

Washington, DC…”That’s precisely why we honor heroes like Flo—because on his very worst day, he managed to summon his very best. That’s the nature of courage—not being unafraid, but confronting fear and danger and performing in a selfless fashion. He showed his guts. He showed his training, how he would put it all on the line for his teammates. That’s an American we can all be grateful for. That’s why we honor Captain Florent Groberg today.” —President Obama awarding the Medal of Honor to Captain Florent Groberg:
