Faces of honor

It's been a week since Sgt. Sal Giunta received the Medal of Honor from President Barack Obama. I don't know about you, but I haven't gotten tired of hearing from him. He was on David Letterman's show last night.

At last night's Timberwolves game, this recently-returned Minnesota soldier was honored with the largest gift ever from the Timberwolves. He's getting married and the team spent the last year putting together a wedding package for him and his soon-to-be-wife... $50,000 worth.

I didn't catch his name but it really doesn't matter. As Sgt. Giunta pointed out, these things are really honoring thousands of others.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving and thanks for stopping by News Cut once in awhile.
