In an effort to help make sure all of our veterans get the recognition they deserve, ABC15 is following up with a 99-year-old WWII veteran who we interviewed earlier this year.

"When I spoke with James and he told me was having a hard time getting the medals he said he deserved, I got to work, reaching out to any contact I had who could maybe help him. While we were able to help him receive five additional medals he earned from his time serving in the Marines, we are still working to see if he qualifies for a Purple Heart and will continue to follow up and help him on this journey." - Nick Ciletti
