Summary

Description
English: Capt. James Burt, center, receives the Congressional Medal of Honor at the Truman White House, in a ceremony with 14 others, on 12 October 1945, nearly one year to the date of the start of the action at Wurselen, Germany, that closed the Aachen Gap. During the ceremony, President Truman is quoted as saying that he would rather be a recipient of the Medal of Honor than be President of the United States.

Biddle, Corporal Edward A. Bennett, Corporal Thomas E. Atkins, Private First Class William A. Soderman, Second Lieutenant Edward A. Silk, Sergeant Cleto Rodriguez, Sergeant Nicholas Oresko, Sergeant Dexter J. Kerstetter, and Sergeant Thomas J. Kelly. Others in the background are unidentified.
