Medal of Honor winner: "What's it worth?"

However, Giunta himself has been slow to accept the recognition and media spotlight the Medal of Honor has brought. Last week, author and embedded journalist Sebastian Junger posted a gripping video in which Giunta says that he's uncomfortable being singled out for recognition. His first thought on hearing that he would receive the award, he claims: "Fuck you." And he adds: "I didn't do shit ... Just as much as me, every single person that I've been with deserves to wear it."
