President Biden Awards Medal Of Honor To Vietnam Veteran For Conspicuous Gallantry

WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 05: U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin (2nd L) and Veterans Secretary Denis McDonough (3rd L) attend retired U.S. Army Captain Larry Taylor's Medal of Honor ceremon in the East Room of the White House on September 05, 2023 in Washington, DC. In June of 1968, Taylor landed his Cobra attack helicopter under intense enemy fire to rescue a four-man long-range reconnaissance patrol that had been surrounded and pinned down. The patrol team climbed aboard, grabbing on to rocket-pods and skids, and Taylor carried them to a safe location before landing them back on the ground. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
