Soldier gets highest honor for ultimate sacrifice

"Army Sgt. Jared C. Monti of Raynham has been posthumously named to receive the Medal of Honor this week for giving his life as he tried to rescue wounded comrades under heavy fire in Afghanistan in 2006."

"On June 21, 2006, during a heavy firefight in Gowardesh, Afghanistan, Jared Monti dragged one wounded soldier to safety under fire. He went back to get another critically wounded soldier and was killed by a grenade in the process."

"Only five other Medals of Honor have been awarded since 9/11."
