President Joe Biden has awarded the Medal of Honor to military recipients who displayed heroism and self-sacrifice in combat and the Medal of Valor to first responders who put their own lives at risk to save others. The recipients of the Medal of Honor are Korean War and Vietnam War veterans. All but one received the honor posthumously at the White House on Friday. In a separate ceremony, Biden honored eight people who have shown exceptional courage in attempting to save lives. They include the law enforcement officials who responded to a shooter who killed six people on March 27, 2023, at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.
