President Barack Obama bows his head in prayer during a memorial service in honor of the late U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific Dec. 23, 2012. Inouye was a U.S. Army World War II combat veteran with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, who earned the nation’s highest award for military valor, the Medal of Honor. Inouye became Hawaii's first congressman following statehood in 1959; he won election to the Senate in 1962. He was the first Japanese-American elected to both the House and Senate and was serving his ninth term in the Senate when he died from respiratory complications at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Dec. 17, 2012. President Obama recently credited Sen. Inouye as his earliest political influence and a key reason for him entering public service. (Department of Defense photo by U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt.
