Summary[edit]

Description
English: Split, Croatia (May 18, 2006) – Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe Admiral Harry Ulrich, presents the Medal of Honor to retired Croatian Army Lt. Col. Srecko Herceg on behalf of U.S. Navy Chief Watertender Peter Tomich on the flight deck of 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.
