UPGRADE! 24 soldiers to receive Medal of Honor
President Barack Obama announced today that he will award the Medal of Honor to 24 Soldiers during a March 18 ceremony at the White House.
Seven awards will go to World War II veterans, nine to Korean War veterans, and eight to Vietnam War veterans. All awards are posthumous with the exception of three living Vietnam veterans.
The award, the highest for valor, is an upgrade from the Distinguished Service Cross that many Soldiers received for intrepid actions, personal bravery and devotion to duty during actions against enemy forces.
