Captain Groberg's story of "heroism and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty"

Emigrating from France to the United States as a child, Florent Groberg is  the first immigrant in forty years to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor after he saved many lives by tackling a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. He is also the recipient of the Purple Heart and 2 Bronze Stars.

His story in this recently published book can be found on the library's 3rd floor at 958.1047 G87.

A full description of his citation and those of four other recent Medal of Honor recipients can be read at the military.com website.
