George's Purple Heart


TODAY IS PURPLE HEART DAY




George Dalton Libby's Purple Heart


George was posthumously awarded many medals for his bravery in the early days of the Korean War.  You can read more about him here and elsewhere.  He is my first cousin 1x removed.  I helped his immediate family replace his medals after they were lost.

  1. Do you happen to have a Permanent or General Order that came with George D. Libby's Purple Heart? I would like to update his entry in the National Register of Purple Heart Recipients located at www.nrophr.org

    1. I have contacted his niece, who has all his medals, about your question.
