Tech. Sgt. John Chapman is the first airman to be awarded the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War.

Two members of Marine Special Operations Command received awards for a gun battle with al-Qaida militants in Northern Africa.

Al-Qaida shares the same goals as ISIS, but pursues them more carefully, according to the Institute for the Study of War.

Tech. Sgt. John Chapman died during Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan in 2002.

At a White House ceremony Thursday, President Donald Trump will present the Medal of Honor to a retired Navy SEAL.

Slabinski led a team back to rescue Roberts after the SEAL was ejected from an MH-47 Chinook that was under enemy attack.

Retired Master Chief Special Warfare Operator Britt K. Slabinski will receive the military's highest honor May 24.

President Trump signed an executive order to keep the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba open.

U.S. Central Command did not give any details on when and where the ground attacks were carried out.
