'It' being the day in 2012 when the now-retired Army captain was leading a security team in Afghanistan, protecting several high-ranking officers, when he spotted a suicide bomber coming his way. You look at what happened and we were finally able to talk about it.' 'That was one of the most incredible emotional days of my life. 'It just reminder us of our brotherhood and how close we all were, are, and will always be,' Groberg said. He was reunited with his entire security team for the first time since leaving Afghanistan. Groberg, however, says the most memorable recent moment came two days before the ceremony where he received the Medal. Medal of Honor recipients are invited to every presidential inaugural ball and they never pay federal income tax again. Other recent recipients told Groberg, ''your life is going to be completely different,'' he said.'People, the way they look at you and see you, and want to be near you.' Florent Groberg is in one of the smallest clubs in the military: he's a recipient of the Medal of Honor, a distinction earned by only ten living veterans of the war in Afghanistan.īy all appearances at an event in his honor Friday in Los Angeles, Groberg is adjusting well to his new lifestyle of constant speaking engagements, luncheons, and ceremonies.
