An Army sergeant who ignored his battle wounds to take out the enemy, rescue the injured and retrieve the dead during an ambush by 300 fighters in Afghanistan will receive the Medal of Honor, the White House announced Friday.

Staff Sgt. Clinton Romesha, 31, who has since left the military, will be only the fourth living service member awarded the nation's top honor for courage in Iraq or Afghanistan.

His citation says he is being recognized for "acts of gallantry and intrepity" when fighters attacked Combat Outpost Keating from all sides with rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns, mortars and rifles on Oct. 3, 2009, igniting a daylong battle.

Somewhere (can't remember where), I saw a documentary-type film about Romesha. The odds were crazy, but he made it through (and saved lives in the process). Amazing guy!

Wasn't it Truman that said (while awarding a Medal of Honor) that he'd rather have that medal than be president? Me too.
