Good Job Soldier....... A former Army captain who risked his life repeatedly to rescue wounded U.S. and Afghan troops during one of the deadliest ambushes of the Afghanistan war was presented Tuesday with the nations highest military honor for his bravery. Retired Army Captain William Swenson, 34, held back tears as he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor on Tuesday in a White House ceremony recognizing his actions on Sept. 8, 2009, when a protracted battle against Taliban insurgents near the Pakistan border claimed the lives of four Americans, 10 Afghan army soldiers, and an interpreter.
