Iraq Marine receives Medal of Honor
 

U.S. President George Bush marked America's Veterans Day by awarding a posthumous Medal of Honor to a U.S. Marine killed in Iraq. Mr. Bush made the award as part of the dedication of a new museum to the nation's Marine Corps.

Since the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, more than 190,000 men and women have joined the Marine Corps.

Among them was Corporal Jason Dunham, who was killed outside the Iraqi town of Karabilah in 2004, when he threw himself on an enemy grenade to protect his fellow Marines.

"As long as we have Marines like Corporal Dunham, America will never fear for her liberty."
