Right now, at 11:06, watching CNN as President Obama awards two US soldiers Medals of Honor. Both men fought in the Korean War.
This was a pre-arranged news conference and the first since last night's announcement. Two true heroes.
The honorees died 60 years ago in the Korean War and they are receiving their Medal of Honor posthumously. Both were killed during the action for which they are being honored. Several Korean War veterans are also in attendance as are former Medal of Honor winners.
One was from Hawaii, Tony Kaho'ohanohano. The other was Henry Svehla.
Both men's accomplishments on the battlefield were exemplary.
Heroes, Both.
