Marine Corps Staff Sergeant, salutes after a 21-Gun Salute and the playing of Taps, to honor 28 fallen service members being presented the Hawaii Medal of Honor posthumously, during a special ceremony at the State Capitol, Honolulu, Hawaii, March 23, 2010.  The Hawaii Medal of Honor was created in 2005 to recognize the heroism of those members of the U.S. armed forces with links to Hawaii who are killed in action while serving our country as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan. The presentation of the Hawaii Medal of Honor was the first of its kind in the nation, and has become the model for similar ceremonies in other states. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Jerome S.
