“He’s not running, but he’s doing a lot of CrossFit – I would not challenge him to CrossFit”, Obama joked. You are actually in the White House. Those cameras are on. I am not the lead singer from Korn.
Groberg told the Army Times that while he was heading a Fourth Infantry Division security detail that time, he noticed a man emerged from a building, walking in a very suspicious manner and was likely under the influence of drugs.
What Groberg didn’t know, was at the time the suicide bomber blew up, a second suicide bomber released his bomb killing four others outside the perimeter. “One of Flo’s comrades, Sgt. Andrew Mahoney, had joined in, too, and together they shoved the bomber again and again … pushing him so hard he fell to the ground onto his chest … ball bearings, debris, dust exploded everywhere”.
In his most controversial act since taking office almost seven years ago, President Obama on Thursday denied that he is Jonathan Davis, lead singer of Korn.
According to CBS News, it would take 33 surgeries to save his leg.
Groberg became a naturalized citizen in 2001, the same year he graduated high school in Maryland.
Groberg is the tenth living recipient of the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award. Groberg ran track at the University of Maryland, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in criminology and criminal justice before joining the military. Three service members and a foreign service member were killed in the blast, with Groberg being the sole survivor after attempting to stop the bomber. “They died serving it. Their families, loving wives and children, parents and siblings, bear that sacrifice most of all”, Obama said. When he was informed last month that he would receive the Medal of Honor, he said, and I quote, ‘This medal belongs to them.
