Presidential Medal of Honor Ceremony
Source: CSPAN
President Obama awarded the Medal of Honor to Captain Florent Groberg, who tackled a suicide bomber while serving in Afghanistan.
He tackled a suicide bomber to the ground, lessening the impact of a major attack on senior officers in Afghanistan. For that act of courage, President Obama presented retired Army Captain Florent Groberg with the Medal of Honor.
"On his very worst day, he managed to summon his very best. That's the nature of courage," President Obama said of Cpt. Groberg at the Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House today. "He showed his guts, he showed his training, how you put it all on the line for his teammates. That's an American we can all be grateful for."
But Cpt. Groberg, 32, said the medal belongs to the families of the four service members who died in the attack.
