WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- The first living soldier since the Vietnam War to win the Medal of Honor tells CBS the award makes him uncomfortable.

In an interview with "60 Minutes" to be aired Sunday, Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta says he is "not at peace" with what happened during an October 2007 firefight in Afghanistan in which he risked his life to stop the enemy from abducting an injured U.S. soldier.

"I don't think I did anything that anyone else I was with wouldn't have done. I was in a position to do it. That was what needed to be done. So I did it," Giunta said of his experience in the Korengal Valley with the Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade.
