A Day In Rock – November 12th, 2015 – Helping Those Who “Go Through Hell”
On this day nine years ago… While awarding the Medal Of Honor at the White House to Florent Groberg, a former Army captain who tackled a suicide bomber in Afghanistan and was seriously injured, President Obama recounted a moment during Groberg’s recovery when he thought he was hallucinating because KoЯn singer Jonathan Davis appeared at his bedside.
“I talk to a lot of vets who come back and are hurt,” Davis said. “They’re in disbelief and depressed but happy that they’re home. It’s amazing just to put a smile on their face.”
In 2012, Davis began visiting U.S. Armed Forces stationed in Europe -including soldiers recuperating from combat injuries in base hospitals.
Davis expressed shock at Obama mentioning him in Groberg’s ceremony. “The President of the United States gave me props for being there for a Medal of Honor recipient. Groberg went through hell”
