STORYLINE:
An 80-year-old retired Marine sargeant major has been inducted into the Pentagon's Hall of Heroes after President Trump awarded him the Medal of Honor.
Sgt. Maj. John Canley was presented the nation's highest military honor for valorous action in Vietnam five decades ago.
John Canley's heroism includes twice scaling a hospital wall in view of the enemy to help wounded Marines and carry them to safety.
According to the White House, Canley, a native of Caledonia, Arkansas, who now lives in California, fought off multiple enemy attacks over several days in early 1968 while his company moved toward Hue as part of a counter-offensive to retake the city from the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces.
