The Purple Heart

This week I have been working on getting Tebbs his Purple Heart. He was not awarded one during the war, nor were any of the other casualties or deaths. But, in 1932 a law was passed reinstating the medal and veterans or their families could apply for it retroactively. By 1932 both of Tebbs' parents were dead, so now it is up to me to get him his medal. Now that I know that he doesn't have the medal, I wrote Congressman Carnahan's office again today to ask how to proceed on this matter. According to what I read today, this will take some time to accomplish, but should give my speech a real punch if I can pull it off for him.
