Sergeant gets posthumous Medal of Honor
President Obama today posthumously awarded US Air Force Sergeant Richard Etchberger the military’s highest award � the Medal of Honor � for saving the lives of at least two of his Vietnam War colleagues in Laos in 1968. His family only recently found out how he died. Anchor Lisa Mullins finds out more from Timothy Castle, who attended today’s ceremony at the White House.
