Flo earned the Medal of Honor, the highest military honor, awarded for personal acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty, for his actions on August 8, 2012 in Afghanistan. Flo is the 19th recipient of the Medal of Honor after the Vietnam War, the first foreign-born recipient since the Vietnam War and the 10th living recipient.
