U.S. Army Sgt. Edward Schaible (center), from Howell, N.J., poses for a photograph with Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, retired Army Col. Robert L. Howard and retired Command Sgt. Maj. Gary Lee Littrell, at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, April 7. The holders of the highest military award were starting their sixth trip throughout Southwest Asia over the past five years, to thank today's military men and women for their service. "This is my first time meeting a Medal of Honor recipient," said Schaible. "It's an honor to meet someone who put their life on the line to save others during a time of war." He met the recipients while enjoying a brief break from duty in Iraq, by participating in the U.S. Central Command rest and recuperation pass program in Qatar. "Their courage is inspirational for anyone placed in a situation where they must risk their life to save the lives of others," said Schaible.
