Medal of Honor

You might have seen all or part of yesterday's Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House.

The honoree, Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, is from Hiawatha, IA,—the little town that we drove through every time we went to or from Cedar Rapids before we moved. He went to the same high school that my daughter attended, which is now just two miles down the street from our new home.

By all reports, he is a super guy and is a great representative for not only Iowa but everyone in the military.

The really good news: he was alive and able to attend the presentation! He's the first recipient in that category for nearly forty years.
