He was discharged in 2009 and became a special agent with the Secret Service. He now lives in Virginia with his family.

On October 1, President Donald Trump presented Shurer with the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest honor for military valor.

Friday will be Shurer's first time back in Pullman since he was deployed.
