FILE - In this Jan. 5, 2012 file photo Elsie Shemin-Roth holds a World War I photo of her father William Shemin at her home in Labadie, Mo. Nearly a century ago, Sgt. Shemin raced across a battlefield three times to pull wounded comrades to safety, survived a bullet to the head and led his unit to safety. The heroism should have earned him the Medal of Honor but didn't, possibly because discrimination was rampant _ and he was Jewish. Thanks to the efforts of his daughter, Shemin is on the cusp of finally being honored with a medal, 41 years after his death. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson, File)
