Retired Col. Leo Thorsness, one of the 77 still-living Medal of Honor recipients, takes time to shake hands with audience members from the speaker series breakfast. Educators, veterans and Georgia Guardsmen were able to take photos with the colonel, as well, after the breakfast. When Thorsness received the Medal of Honor on Oct. 15, 1973, from President Richard Nixon, he told the colonel, "We've been waiting for you for six years. Welcome home."
