Leroy Arthur Petry (born July 29, 1979) is a retired United States Army soldier. He received the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions in Afghanistan in 2008 during Operation Enduring Freedom. Born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Petry had an active youth, and joined the Army after high school. Completing the Ranger Indoctrination Program, he was deployed several times to both Iraq and Afghanistan as a member of the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. On May 26, 2008, during his seventh deployment, Petry was a member of a team on a mission to capture a Taliban target in Paktia Province. Despite being wounded in both legs by gunfire, Petry continued to fight and give orders. When a grenade landed between him and two other soldiers, Petry grabbed it and attempted to throw it away from them. He saved the soldiers' lives but the grenade exploded, severing his right hand. Petry became the second recent living recipient of the medal for the war in Afghanistan in 2011 when he received the award from U.S. President Barack Obama. Opting to reenlist in spite of his injury, Petry remained on active duty in the U.S. Army until his retirement on July 29, 2014.

Leroy Arthur Petry (né le 29 juillet 1979 à Santa Fe, Nouveau-Mexique) est un Sergent de première classe de l'Armée des États-Unis et récipiendaire de la plus haute distinction militaire américaine, la Medal of Honor, pour ses actions en 2008 durant l'Opération Enduring Freedom. Petry rejoint l'armée à l'issue de ses études secondaires. Après sa formation à la Ranger School, il est régulièrement déployé en Irak et en Afghanistan comme membre du 75e régiment de rangers, au sein du 2e bataillon. Le 26 mai 2008, au cours de son septième déploiement, Petry fait partie du détachement qui a pour mission de capturer une cible talibane dans la province de Paktiyâ. Malgré de multiples blessures par balle dans les deux jambes, Petry continue à se battre et à exercer ses responsabilités de commandement. Alors qu'une grenade est lancée entre lui et deux autres soldats, Petry attrape la grenade et tente de la relancer, mais celle-ci explose au même moment, arrachant sa main droite mais sauvant la vie des soldats. Petry, qui porte désormais une prothèse, est devenu le second récipiendaire encore vivant de la Medal of Honor pour acte de bravoure au combat en Afghanistan. La médaille lui a été remise par le président Barack Obama en 2011. Choisissant de se réengager en dépit de ses blessures, Petry assiste jusqu’à sa retraite en 2014, les soldats blessés et leur famille.
