President Donald Trump awards the Medal of Honor to 1st Lt. Garlin Conner as his widow Pauline Connor accepts the posthumous recognition, during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Tuesday, June 26, 2018.

Conner remained in an exposed position for three hours, despite German forces coming within five yards of his position and friendly artillery shells exploding around him.
