Maui man receives Medal of Honor almost 50 years after his death

A Maui man who died in the Korean War has been awarded a Medal of Honor.

President Barack Obama honored Private First Class Anthony Kaho’ohanohano at a White House Ceremony Monday morning.

The 21-year-old was killed on September 1, 1951 at Chup’ari on the Korean peninsula.

His nephew, George Kahoohanohano, has for almost a decade pushed to get his uncle’s Distinguished Service Cross upgraded to a Medal of Honor.
