David Smith displays his father's Medal of Honor as Birgit Smith addresses the audience during a dedication ceremony of the Paul R. Smith Middle School in Holiday, Fla., August 25. Smith died in combat April 4, 2003, as he fought off Iraqi attackers near Baghdad International Airport. He received the Medal of Honor posthumously April 4, 2005.
