President Barack Obama places the Medal of Honor around the neck of Staff Sgt. Ty M. Carter during a ceremony at the White House, Aug. 26, 2013. During a 13-hour fire fight in Afghanistan, Carter, with complete disregard for his own safety, discarded his M-4 rifle, ran to a critically wounded Soldier caught in the open, and rendered life-extending first aid. He then carried the Soldier to medics as his team provided cover. (U.S. Army File Photo/Released)
