More than 3,500 heroes have received the Congressional Medal of Honor, and as of today, only 61 are alive.
And one man’s medal has given him a new purpose in life.

Medal of Honor🏅
While leading a security detail in Kunar Province, Captain Florent Groberg spotted a man moving suspiciously toward his formation of senior leaders. Without hesitation, he rushed forward and pushed the suspect away discovering a suicide vest. In that split second, Groberg tackled the b0mber, dragging him away from the group. The vest detonated outside the perimeter, saving countless lives. A second b0mber's vest expl0ded prematurely, minimizing further casualties. His quick action, selfless courage, and willingness to risk everything protected his brothers in arms and changed the outcome of that day. For his heroism, Florent Groberg was awarded the Medal of Honor.

What scares me most isn’t dying.
It’s what happens here if I’m gone.

“We believe it’s most appropriate to let the recognition of military heroism stand on its own merits, without injecting political perspectives,” said a spokesman for Army Gen. James J. Mingus, who was there the day Florent Groberg tackled a suicide bomber.

@LauraLoomer The Medal is A Political. The person wearing it doesn’t have to be. If anyone has earned the right to free speech or to have an opinion it’s a man who threw himself in front of a suicide bomber to save lives.
What have you done?

"Americans watch a Medal of Honor ceremony on television thinking that it is a happy or even joyous occasion ... It is in fact a devastating experience. We never wanted the Medal of Honor. We wanted to bring our battle buddies home." -Captain Florent Groberg in #8SecondsOfCourage

@RepMTG Captain Florent Groberg is an American hero x.com/diedsuddenly_/…

We want to take a moment to highlight the valor of Medal of Honor recipient U.S. Army Captain Florent Groberg. Yesterday was his “Alive Day”, something he’s coined to remember his miraculous survival after he sacrificed his body to save his comrades in Afghanistan from a suicide bomber. On Aug. 8, 2012, in Afghanistan's Kunar Province, Captain Groberg spotted a suicide bomber approaching his patrol, rushed and tackled him away from his team—causing the vest to detonate prematurely and saving many lives, though he lost part of his leg and suffered severe injuries. Kids, look up to his valor: it shows true heroism is selflessly protecting others, even at great personal cost! “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.” – 1 John 3:16

He is truly one of the best people on the planet. He’s giving more grace than anyone attacking him deserves.

@LauraLoomer Oh boy… Thirteen years ago today is my Alive Day, the day I nearly lost my life, and four of my brothers, including three Army leaders, never came home. I’ve served under presidents from both parties and will always honor my oath to this country. Yes, I spoke for 60 seconds at the DNC when asked about service and sacrifice, not politics. For me, 8/8 isn’t about parties. It’s about the lives we lost.
