Army Chaplain Posthumously Given Congressional Medal of Honor

President Barack Obama has posthumously awarded the United States' highest military honor to a Roman Catholic Army chaplain who sacrificed almost everything he had for his fellow prisoners of war in Korea.

Reverend Emil Kapaun died in a North Korean POW camp in 1951.
