Summary[edit]

Description Sgt. 1st Class Leroy A. Petry receives the Medal of Honor from President Barack Obama at the White House, July 12. Petry received the Medal of Honor for his actions during a mission on May 26, 2008, serving as a squad leader with Delta Company, 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment was conducting a mission in rural eastern Afghanistan with his unit to capture a high-value insurgent target. Early in the mission, the squad came under heavy enemy fire and Petry was shot in both legs. Despite his wounds, the Ranger gallantly continued fighting alongside his brothers in arms. When an enemy hand grenade landed just inches away, Petry grabbed it to protect fellow Rangers. As he released the grenade to throw it, the explosive detonated and he lost his right hand.
