Several World War II veterans are being honored for their service, including Cpl. Benjamin Berry, a 100-year-old U.S. Army veteran who received the French Legion of Honor at an award ceremony in Philadelphia. The WWII Ghost Army, known for diverting German troops, will also receive recognition with a congressional gold medal.
