Fox News chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin has the details.revealed their feelings about receiving the nation’s highest military honor
"It’s wildly bittersweet, because it’s such a tremendous honor," Giunta said."It was never a goal or an aspiration." "And so to stand on that stage and receive the accolades that so many deserve and so many didn't receive is fairly painful," Giunta said."I mean, today you won't really see me wear the medal, it weighs that heavy on me. I can talk about it, I will be a Medal of Honor recipient, but it's not something that is going to define me because that was never me. It was always us.
"The men that, like Sal said, will never grow old, never have another Christmas with their family, another birthday with their kids," Romesha continued."And you just kind of reflect on that." Romesha said that American Warrior Partnership’s"mindset of empowering" blew him away as well as the different initiatives by the organization, including Mission Roll Call to help veterans find civilian employment and reintegrate into society after serving.
"I think it’s super great for a guy like me, right? I was in eight years," Giunta said."I don’t have a retirement from the military. [I] did eight years, and I quit and I pursued the next adventure in life."
