U.S. Army Staff Sgt. (Ret.) Melvin Morris, a Vietnam War veteran, waits as U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Christopher Schneider prepares his uniform before heading to the White House, on March 18, 2014. Morris and two others are the only living soldiers who were honored with 21 others Tuesday by President Barack Obama with the Medal of Honor. Following a congressionally mandated review to ensure that eligible recipients were not bypassed due to prejudice, the veterans received the Medal of Honor for action during major combat operations in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
