Touch Reflection

Pete Corrall touches his friend's name he found on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., March 19, 2014. Corrall accepted the Medal of Honor on behalf of his late uncle Army Sgt. Eduardo C. Gomez from President Barack Obama the previous day at the White House. Gomez toured the memorial with others who accepted Medals of Honor on behalf of a family member, and also with living recipients of the medal.
