The Tuesday ceremony followed a congressionally-mandated review to ensure that eligible recipients were not bypassed due to prejudice. Some 6,505 winners of the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation's second-highest military award, were reviewed, with 24 singled out for the Medal of Honor.
"Today we have the chance to set the record straight," Obama said during the ceremony, adding that "some of these soldiers fought and died for a country that did not always see them as equal."
