Kyle Jerome White (born March 27, 1987) is an American financial analyst and former United States Army soldier.

[2] Prior to the event that lead to the awarding of the Medal of Honor, White noticed that during a Shura "it seemed like every male fighting-age and above was there in attendance."

White distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a radio telephone operator with Company C, 2d Battalion (Airborne), 503d Infantry Regiment, 173d Airborne Brigade, during combat operations against an armed enemy in Nuristan Province, Afghanistan on 9 November 2007.

On that day, Specialist White and his comrades were returning to Bella Outpost from a shura with Aranas Village elders.

As the soldiers traversed a narrow path surrounded by mountainous, rocky terrain, they were ambushed by enemy forces from elevated positions.

Pinned against a steep mountain face, Specialist White and his fellow soldiers were completely exposed to enemy fire.

Without hesitation, Specialist White exposed himself to enemy fire in order to reach the soldier and provide medical aid.

Applying his own belt as an additional tourniquet, Specialist White was able to stem the flow of blood and save the soldier's life.

[10]In 2013, White received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where he majored in finance.
