I believe that I have this service member’s Purple Heart obtained indirectly through an estate sale at least 12 years ago around Chattanooga. I would like to find a family member to give it to. I do not feel right having it and have been trying to find a family member for years. Please advise if you see fit. Thank you in advance.
If you are a family member and would like this service member’s Purple Heart, please contact jromeise@icloud.com
