    President Barack Obama speaks at the Medal of Honor ceremony honoring World War I soldiers Pvt. Henry Johnson and Sgt. William Shemin, at the White House, Washington, D.C., June 2, 2015. Johnson was overlooked for the nation's highest military honor because he was African-American, while Shemin was passed over because he was Jewish, Obama said. The nation has work to do in ensuring "all of our heroes' stories are told," he said at the event.
