Medal of Honor Vol1 Iss4 - Sal Guinta cover

Cover by Rick Magyar. Specialist Sal Giunta was on patrol in the Korengal Valley of Afghanistan on the moonlit night of 25 October 2007 when his platoon was caught in a Taliban ambush. Braving rocket-propelled grenades and intense small arms fire, he advanced on the enemy, prevented the capture of a fellow paratrooper, and turned the tide of the battle. In recognition of his efforts, Giunta became the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War.
