US-POLITICS-OBAMA-MEDAL
US President Barack Obama walks down Cross Hall as he arrives to present William Swenson, a former active duty Army Captain, with the Medal of Honor, the highest military award, during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC, October 15, 2013. Swenson, 34, repeatedly entered the "kill zone" as he helped rescue wounded soldiers and retrieve the bodies of Americans killed during a 7-hour battle in Afghanistan on September 8, 2009, under heavy enemy fire. He is the first Army officer to receive the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War. AFP PHOTO / Saul LOEB
