We are honored to be included in the newest issue of Reader's Digest magazine. The magazine is distributed worldwide and the increased awareness about our mission at Purple Hearts Reunited will hopefully inspire readers who have misplaced Purple Hearts and other military medals to come forward to locate their rightful owners.
Thanks to the photography talents of Jamie Chung and Robert Kiener's writing, the article paints a picture of how the mission began and why it is so important to us to return valor and honor our veterans and military families.
The article highlights a few Purple Hearts Reunited return stories. It illustrates how proud WWII veteran CPL George Hemphill was to receive his long-lost Purple Heart in 2013. The story also mentions how CPL Toulman Freeman's widow was inconsolable after his medal was lost in a nursing home washing machine. And of course, Reader's Digest tells the story of the lost Purple Heart that started it all and was originally earned by PVT Corrado Piccoli.
While our organization is very small, we have returned well over 100 medals to military families, and we have huge hopes for the future. We believe that every lost or stolen military medal should be returned to the veteran or family who has earned it, and we won't rest until they are home.
