Thanks for posting this news!

Bundeswehr Master Sgt. Henry Lukacs is presented with the Cross of Honor for Bravery, lower right corner of image, by German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, Germany, Monday, July 6, 2009. Chancellor Angela Merkel was presenting four German soldiers with the new decoration for bravery on Monday, the nation's first such honor since World War II.

I decided to post the story and some of the images before they are removed from the Yahoo news site.
