Medal of Honor recipient Staff Sgt. Sal Giunta will end his Army career in June and move to Colorado to continue his education, a military spokesman said Tuesday.
Giunta has opted not to re-enlist and will leave the Army in mid-June, said Army spokesman George Wright. Giunta and his wife, Jenny, plan to move to Fort Collins.
Giunta, 26, is the first living service member from the Afghanistan or Iraq war to receive the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military distinction.
His decision not to re-enlist was made before Giunta received the medal, public affairs officer Todd Oliver wrote in an e-mail from Italy.
