On Thursday, Frerichs announced that he has
possession of 11 military Purple Heart medals as part of that
unclaimed property program. He would very much like to return these
medals to their owners or survivors of owners. While the closest
associated location with one of these medals is Decatur, the years
have passed, and people do relocate. If there is a last name on the
list that you recognize and know that a member of that family is a
veteran, please pass along this information.
