Video: Medal of Honor recipient Ryan Pitts closes NYSE, destroys gavel, looks horrified
Version 0 of 1. Just two days after receiving the nation’s highest award for battlefield valor, the Medal of Honor, former Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Pitts rang the closing bell of the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday. The gavel never stood a chance. The New York Stock Exchange wanted to make sure Pitts didn’t worry about the accident: Talk about #ArmyStrong: don’t worry about the gavel, @USArmy SSG Ryan Pitts. You earned it. #MedalofHonor #NYSEBell pic.twitter.com/06zcnCUUdh — NYSE (@nyse) July 23, 2014 Talk about #ArmyStrong: don’t worry about the gavel, @USArmy SSG Ryan Pitts.
