FILE - This 2001 file photo shows Walt Ehlers, of Buena Park, Calif., a recipient of The Medal of Honor in Buena Park. Ehlers accomplished some of the most awe-inspiring acts of bravery imaginable during the historic D-Day invasion of World War II, earning him the medal for knocking out two German machine-gun nests and saving countless Allied soldiers' lives. He died Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014, at a Long Beach hospital of kidney failure, his wife, Dorothy, told The Associated Press on Monday. He was 92, and his passing leaves only seven surviving World War II Medal of Honor recipients. (AP Photo/The Orange County Register, Jebb Harris, File) MAGAZINES OUT; LOS ANGELES TIMES OUT.
