A Vietnam veteran in Norman, Oklahoma, received his Purple Heart on Veterans Day, 56 years after being wounded in battle.맥스카지노�Today, we have the honor of officially awarding Mr. Jimmy Ohlheiser his Purple Heart,맥스카지노� said an ODVA speaker.This Purple Heart never made it past some red tape in 1968, but on Monday morning, it finally went to the veteran who gave his all to our country.맥스카지노�It sneaked up on me,맥스카지노� said U.S. Marines veteran Jimmy Ohlheiser.Ohlheiser has lived at the Norman State Veterans Home since 2013. He served in Vietnam before he was wounded in 1968 and returned home, but he never got his Purple Heart.맥스카지노�He took a rifle round here that came out the back of his head. So, it was a devastating injury,맥스카지노� said Ohlheiser's brother. 맥스카지노�He ended up paralyzed on the left side."Thanks to Sen. James Lankford and some of the staff at the veterans' home, they were able to figure out just where it ended up.맥스카지노�This is to certify that the president of the United States of America has awarded the Purple Heart, established by Gen. George Washington at Newburg, New York, on Aug. 7, 1782, to Pfc. James M. Ohlheiser,맥스카지노� said an ODVA speaker. 맥스카지노�On his DD214, his discharge paperwork, they did not recognize him with his national defense service medal, his Vietnam service medal or with his Purple Heart. They have since corrected this oversight."The ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Monument in Oklahoma City was an emotional moment, seeing the man who gave so much for his country finally get what he deserves.맥스카지노�Our country is a better place because of your service, and I am grateful Oklahomans can call you one of our own,맥스카지노� said a Lankford spokesperson.
