Obama will award Medal of Honor to 24 overlooked Army veterans

Throughout History, the nation's most combat honor veterans have fought however back in World War II they were discriminated because of their race. Back then, there was a lot of Latino and Jewish veterans who fought but were denied the coveted Medal of Honor because of discrimination. Recently it was found three of them are still alive. What made this more visible was the Campaign in 2002 where Congress passed the Defense Authorization Act. This act prompted a review of Latino and Jewish service members were awarded the second highest award instead of the most top one. After all the investigation that was done the president will make a ceremony in which the veterans will be awarded because of their sacrifice to the country. In my opinion I think this was a good cause to be able to recognize those brave veterans that were discriminated. Now that America is a free country, they will finally be able to be rewarded for the sacrifice they did to defend the United States.
