Wow!!! From one veteran to another, I thank him from the bottom of my heart for his service to this country, he is, a Hero!!!! And we are all very proud of his bravery....Thank you for sharing this!
I recently just finished a 1-1/2 year investigation into my wifes grandfathers military career/ record. His military records were destroyed in a huge fire back in the 1970's at a military records warehouse. Upon moving him out of his house and into a assisted living facility, we came across several military documents. I researched them, and contacted the US Army, military records and with the help from them, we were able to re-establish his military record. We found out that that he earned a Bronze star and a Plillipine Liberation medal with 4 bronze stars and a purple heart and 4 other medals and ribbons. He never knew that he was awarded them because he was wounded in action from a japanese motar round and sent back to the states. I purchased a shadow box and place them in there and gave it to him for Christmas, he cried, which brought tears to my eyes as well.
Here is a picture of it:
