Capt. Florent “Flo” Groberg of the 4th Infantry Division will soon become the latest military member to join the nation’s most recognized legion of heroes. For his heroism in Afghanistan in 2012, President Obama will bestow the Medal of Honor upon Groberg on Nov. 12.

On Aug. 8, 2012, Groberg spotted a suicide bomber while working a personal security detail in the Kunar Province. He tackled the bomber to minimize the bomb’s impact and protect his fellow soldiers. Though four soldiers were killed, Groberg’s actions unexpectedly caused a second suicide bomber to detonate before he was close enough to do hurt any other civilians or troops.
