PURPLE HEART - 37 Years Late
The "DILIGENCE" of the friends and family of a fallen warrior has finally paid off, albeit it 37 years removed!
Congressman Robert A. Brady, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, helped to apply the needed impetus (along with others) in finally attaining the Purple Heart Medal for PFC John M. Olszewski. Private Olszewski was killed only a few short months after arriving in country (Vietnam). He was 20 Years old.
I have taken the liberty of contacting Congressman Brady?s office and requesting that he take a diligent look at the Bill known as HR 2369, Honor Our Fallen POWS. A bill that was introduced into the House by the Honorable Bob Filner of California.
The Bill already has the backing (co-sponsors) of seven other esteemed legislators and is well known to almost all who work within these hallowed halls.
I sincerely hope that Congressman Brady will also back this Bill, and that the remainder of the House Armed Services Committee will follow suit! The gallant men, who fell while serving, even as Prisoners of War, must never be forgotten!
VERITAS (Truth)
