Los Angeles Times:More than a quarter-century after his death and 56 years after he single-handedly took out three enemy machine-gun nests in the Korean War, Army Master Sgt. Woodrow Wilson Keeble was awarded the Medal of Honor on Monday -- the first Sioux to receive the nation's top decoration for bravery in battle.
"On behalf of our grateful nation, I deeply regret that this tribute comes decades too late," President Bush said before presenting the medal to Keeble's stepson, Russell Hawkins, and great-nephew, Kurt Bluedog, during a ceremony at the White House. "He will never stand here to see the pride of his friends and loved ones, as I see in their eyes now."
