Fox News
President Biden has awarded the highest military decoration in the nation to seven U.S. Army veterans for their heroism in the Vietnam and Korean Wars.
Liz Friden is a Pentagon producer based in Washington, D.C.
"These are genuine to their core heroes. Heroes of different ranks, different positions, and even different generations. But heroes who all went above and beyond the call of duty. Heroes who all deserve our nation's highest and oldest military recognition," Biden said.
Five of the recipients were killed in battle, including Capt. Hugh Nelson Jr. who is the first-ever graduate from The Citadel Military College in South Carolina to receive the Medal of Honor. Nelson was previously awarded the U.S. Army’s Distinguished Service Cross.
