    A cake is displayed honoring retired U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Maj John L. Canley, soon to be the 298th Marine Medal of Honor recipient, in McLean, Va., Oct. 15, 2018. From Jan. 31, to Feb. 6, 1968 in the Republic of Vietnam, Canley, the company gunnery sergeant assigned to Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 1st Marines, took command of the company, led multiple attacks against enemy-fortified positions, rushed across fire-swept terrain despite his own wounds and carried wounded Marines into Hue City, including his commanding officer, to relieve friendly forces who were surrounded.
