Yesterday, President Obama awarded the Medal of Honor to former Army Staff Sergeant Clinton Romesha.

The 31-year-old beat back a deadly 2009 attack on a remote outpost in the mountains of Afghanistan by more than 300 Taliban fighters that killed eight American soldiers and left 22 wounded.

Even though they were badly outnumbered, Obama described how Romesha had decided to retake the outpost, saying, "Clint gathered up his guys, and they began to fight their way back, storming one building, then another, pushing the enemy back, having to actually shoot up at the enemy in the mountains above. He and his team started charging as enemy fire poured down, and they kept charging, 50 meters, 80 meters, ultimately a hundred-meter run through a hail of bullets. And they reached their fallen friends, and they brought them home."
