U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno makes his remarks during the Hall of Heroes Induction Ceremony in honor of Medal of Honor Recipient former U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Pitts at the Pentagon, in Arlington, Va., July 22, 2014. Bleeding from both legs and arm, Pitts kept firing at 200 Taliban fighters, even held grenades an extra second to ensure that enemy combatants couldn't heave them back. He was responsible for making sure that the nine Soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice bodies would return home. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Mikki L. Sprenkle/Released)
