A Minot man is about to become one of only four living Americans to be presented the Medal of Honor for bravery in Iraq or Afghanistan.
President Barack Obama will give the nation's highest military decoration for valor to former Army Staff Sergeant Clinton Romesha one month from today.
Sergeant Romesha served nearly 12 years in the Army before retiring in 2011 and moving to Minot.
He was present at Combat Outpost Keating in eastern Afghanistan in 2009 when one of the deadliest attacks on American forces was carried out.
The attack killed eight US soldiers and wounded two dozen others as the American and Latvian troops battled to hold off a much larger enemy force.
Sergeant Romesha's bravery was detailed in a book called The Outpost by journalist Jake Tapper who said the sergeant's courage helped the smaller coalition force beat back the attack.
Sergeant Clinton Romesha will be honored in a White House ceremony on February 11th.
