More than 20 years after the effort began, a World War II hero has finally received the Medal of Honor.
Army 1st Lt. Garlin Conner was originally awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the Army’s second-highest award for valor, for his actions during 28 months in combat during World War II as an intelligence officer.
But Conner’s family and friends took up the fight to upgrade the award to the nation’s highest valor award, continuing the effort after Conner died in 1998 at age 79.
