Today we remember Sgt. 1st Class Leroy Petry - Happy Veterans Day
On May 26, 2008, in Paktya Province, Afghanistan, Army Ranger Leroy A. Petry and his team were ambushed. During the firefight an enemy grenade landed near Petry and several fellow Rangers. Without hesitation Petry grabbed the grenade and attempted to throw it away from the group. The grenade detonated as he was throwing it; Petry survived but lost his right hand. His quick action saved the lives of the soldiers beside him. For that act of conspicuous gallantry he was awarded the Medal of Honor — presented by President Obama in 2011.
