The face of courage: President Obama to award 24 Medals of Honor | Fox News


"Their stories are among 24 true tales of bravery and heroism that will be honored today when President Obama awards two dozen Medals of Honor to 24 Army veterans -- mostly Jewish, Hispanic or African-American -- who fought in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. The Tuesday ceremony follows a congressionally-mandated review to ensure that eligible recipients were not bypassed due to prejudice. Some 6,505 winners of the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation's second-highest military award, were reviewed, with 24 singled out for the Medal of Honor."

Nice. Too bad only three of them are still alive to get the recognition in person. At least the families will be honored for those Vet's not with us.

Well done!

Even those jerks in Washington - all of them - get it right once in a while.
