ABOVE AND BEYOND: Donald Trump to award Medal of Honor to Navy SEAL for gallant rescue in Afghanistan.

Slabinski, a Master Chief Special Warfare Operator (Sea, Air, and Land), led a reconnaissance team on a mission to a snow-covered, 10,000-foot mountaintop on March 4, 2002.

After an al Qeada attack upon landing, the White House said, “Slabinski boldly rallied his remaining team and organized supporting assets for a daring assault back to the mountain peak in an attempt to rescue” a stranded teammate.

In a battle that lasted more than 14 hours, Slabinksi requested reinforcements, “stabilized casualties on his team and continued the fight against the enemy until the mountaintop was secured by the quick reaction force and his team was extracted,” the White House statement said.

Wow.
