House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is seen after the ceremony for retired U.S. Army Col. Ralph Puckett Jr. at the U.S. Capitol on April 29, 2024 in Washington, DC. One of the U.S. Army's most highly decorated servicemen, retired Col. Ralph Puckett Jr. died at his home in Columbus, Georgia on April 8, 2024 at the age of 97. He was belatedly awarded the Medal of Honor in May 2021 by President Joe Biden for his exploits during the Korean War. Puckett was wounded leading a company of outnumbered Army Rangers in a battle against Communist Chinese troops.
