World War II veteran Frank Dechant, 91, cries during a ceremony at which he received the United States Prisoner of War Medal, in Lakewood, Colo., Monday April 14, 2014. Dechant was captured in Belgium in 1944 during the infamous Battle of the Bulge, in which there were more than 80,000 American casualties. Liberation for Dechant came in April 1945 after a two-month, forced march ahead of the Soviet advance into Germany. (AP Photo/Brennan Linsley), APTOPIX
