President Joe Biden is set to recognize acts of selflessness and bravery in times of war by awarding the Medal of Honor to several individuals, both posthumously and to a living recipient. Among those being honored is Army Pvt. Bruno R. Orig, who sacrificed his life during the Korean War Battle of Chipyong-ni to save his fellow soldiers. Pvt. Orig provided first aid, manned a machine gun post, and ultimately perished defending his comrades.
Other Medal of Honor recipients include Pfc. Wataru Nakamura, Army Cpl. Fred B. McGee, Pfc. Charles R. Johnson, 1st Lt. Richard E. Cavazos, Capt. Hugh R. Nelson Jr., and Pfc. Kenneth J. David. Each of these individuals displayed exceptional courage and valor in the face of enemy forces, with some making the ultimate sacrifice.
