A Miamisburg, Ohio, veteran who died during the Vietnam War may soon receive the Congressional Medal of Honor.
U.S. Senators Sherrod Brown , Debbie Stabenow , J.D. Vance and Gary Peters introduced legislation on Thursday that would allow for Sergeant Gary Lee McKiddy to receive the honor posthumously.
"Sergeant Gary McKiddy was a true American hero. At just 20 years old, he laid down his life to save the lives of others. He embodied the greatest virtues of our nation's armed services and is deserving of our highest military honor," Vance said in a statement. McKiddy was awarded the Silver Star but never the Congressional Medal of Honor, the highest award for action against an enemy force that can be received by a service member of the U.S. Armed Forces, Brown's office said.
