Veteran seeks Medal of Honor at White House gate
Anthony Casamento, a 58-year-old World War II veteran from West Islip New York, sits daily by the White House gate with posters and a flag seeking the Medal of Honor. He argues the Navy Cross is not enough for his actions on Guadalcanal where 27 of his corpsmen fell and he was wounded.
