For anyone that hasn't seen Restrepo, this small piece is done by the same director.

Touching stuff. A real glimpse into the hearts and minds of those who serve.

God bless Sal Giunta and the 173rd! I know no soldier wants to wear the Medal of Honor, but I cannot think of a more deserving serviceman or woman. Thank you for your service, sir!

Not only is this a great story, but the production values of the film/video make it a pleasure to view. Highly recommended!

This short documentry made my contacts float out of my eyes. Very powerful.

Very proud to see this fine soldier awarded with the highest of honors.

I read Sebation Junger's book "War" upon which the film Restrepo was a companion piece. Sal Giunta's actions and this fight are in the book. Simply outstanding. I've had a number of others read it and all agree it's one of the best books on combat and brotherhood we've seen.
