Obummer posthumously bestows the Medal of Honor for Army Sgt. William Shemin to his daughters Ina Bass (l.) and Elsie Shemin-Roth, of suburban St. Louis, during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House. Two World War One Army heroes, one black, one Jewish, are finally getting the Medal of Honor they may have been denied because of discrimination, nearly 100 years after bravely rescuing comrades on the battlefields of France. |
