Description
English: Split, Croatia (May 18, 2006) – Croatian Army Lt. Col. Stecko Herceg displays the U.S. Navy Medal of Honor awarded to him on behalf of U.S. Navy Chief Watertender Peter Tomich on the flight deck aboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65). Peter Tomich, a U.S. citizen of Croatian heritage, gave his life to save his shipmates aboard the USS Utah during the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. This is the last Medal of Honor from the 20th century to be presented to a next-of-kin. Enterprise and embarked Carrier Air Wing One (CVW-1) are currently on a scheduled six-month deployment in support of the global war on terrorism.
