Sal Giunta
To kick off the final day of the 2017 REALTORS® Conference & Expo in Chicago, Staff Sgt. Sal Giunta spoke about his journey from 18-year-old Subway employee to a service member earning the highest award available to members of the U.S. military.
“We are all in this world together. We all have opportunities. We all have the ability to do more,” Giunta said. As a soldier, he bravely ran into enemy fire to save American soldiers from the Taliban. His heroism earned him the Medal of Honor in 2010, making him the first living recipient of the award since the Vietnam War. He challenged those at the Sunday session to take his “100 percent challenge” every day.
“It’s taking advantage of the time we have and doing the best we can,” Giunta said. “And if you fail, don’t quit.”
