Biography
Erevia was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama in a March 18, 2014 ceremony at the White House. The award comes through the Defense Authorization Act which called for a review of Jewish American and Hispanic American veterans from WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War to ensure that no prejudice was shown to those deserving the Medal of Honor.

After leaving the military, Mr. Erevia worked as a mail carrier for the United States Postal Service, retiring in 2002 after thirty-two years of service.
