President Joe Biden on Friday is set to award the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration, to seven U.S. Army veterans for heroism during the Korean War and Vietnam War.
The Medal of Honor is awarded to those who "distinguish themselves conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of their own lives above and beyond the call of duty," according to the White House.
"The meritorious conduct must involve great personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his or her comrades and must have involved risk of life," it said ahead of the White House ceremony taking place just under three weeks before Biden leaves office.
Five of the recipients were killed in battle. Among the two who survived and being honored is Korean War veteran Richard Cavazos, who became the first Hispanic four-star general for the Army.

Not "suckers and losers" as the felonious republicon Draft Dodger spews in a hateful and dismissive way. Absolutelyy low-life cowardly, and deplorable.
Thank you President Joe for honoring the people who actually served the USA.
