    Jared C. Monti of Raynham will posthumously receive the Medal of Honor from president Barack Obama in September. Monti, a 30-year old Army sergeant at the time, was killed on June 21, 2006 in Afghanistan while attempting to rescue wounded soldiers in his unit. He rescued one soldier and was killed while making a second rescue attempt. President Obama called Monti's parents, Paul Monti, of Raynham, and Janet Monti, of Winterville, N.C., on Tuesday to confirm his son would receive the country's top military honor. Both greeted the news with pride and sadness. "I’m so proud of him, but we’re going to meet the president because he’s dead, so I feel no joy in that," she said.
