Honoring a Hero: Aviator Receives Medal Six Decades Overdue

BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. — An elderly man entertains guests from his chair, which is surrounded by medical equipment. Moments later, a familiar shade of blue walks through his front door, causing him to rise and greet the newcomer. The newcomer picks up the elderly man’s military service coat, the same as his own and places it on its owner, who will now receive the honor he earned over 60 years ago.
