WOWT.com: Medal Of Honor Recipients Share Their Stories
Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland
A very special group gathered Saturday at the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland, California. Four of America's Medal of Honor recipients shared their stories of heroism.
The youngest of the group, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, recently received the Medal of Honor for saving members of his squad in Afghanistan and is the first living recipient since the Vietnam War.
Staff Sgt. Giunta was born in Clinton, Iowa and grew up in Cedar Rapids and Hiawatha.
The other Medal of Honor recipients at the museum were Navy Capt. Thomas Hudner Jr., who won his medal for valor during the Korean War, Army Sgt. Peter Lemon, who received his medal for action in Vietnam and World War II Medal of Honor winner Chief Warrant Officer Hershel Williams.
