[QUOTE="SodySoderstrom, post: 1018286, member: 10960"] Tommy, My Father and Mother were quite surprised to hear from you last night, wow what a story! As, mentioned we were not fore sure that my Grandfather had ever been awarded the Purple Heart, as it appears he probably did not get the metal presented to him until around 1943, so it never crossed our minds to look for it. It is truly amazing this item could be lost for so many years and then be returned before another member of the family is gone. We are very grateful to you for taking the time and caring enough to get this back to the rightful owner. We are in your debt. Once the Purple Heart returns home it is my plan to build a shadow box, so the Heart may be displayed in the Honor and Sacrifice in which it was earned. On behalf of my family, I would thank you for your efforts to return a long lost family heirloom. God Bless, I would Also like to Thank all of you who helped Tommy in locating my family. Very kind of all of you. Once again Thank you.. [/QUOTE]
