I just watched the video of Staff Sergeant Giunta being awarded the Medal of Honour by President Obama. So my last post is now wrong: Obama didn't use a teleprompter this time and I actually thought he did a very good job.
Giunta is a truly humble individual who sounds very deserving of the honour just bestowed upon him. His speech afterwards was as good as you will see anywhere. He and our own Trooper Mark Donaldson VC seem to have been made from the same mould. Giunta’s statement that he would give it back in a second if he could have his friends who were killed in action back with him was truly inspirational.
