Medals of the Purple Heart, with the name of the recipient engraved thereon will be<br />

awarded five or more <strong>Fulton</strong> county veterans at a special presentation service to be held in the near<br />

future under the auspices of LeRoy C. Shelton Post, American Legion, according to District<br />

Service Officer Floyd Christman.<br />

Mr. Christman has been advised by the Adjutant General of the Army that five<br />

recommendations have been approved and that five others from this county are now under<br />

investigation. Definite information regarding the latter five will be awaited before the presentation<br />

ceremonies will be held.<br />

The Medal of the Purple Heart is awarded only to those who were wounded in action, or<br />

who received the Meritorious Services Certificate, signed by General Pershing. Several other<br />

<strong>Fulton</strong> county men have been awarded the medal. Still others entitled to the award have as yet<br />

failed to make application. Those who have not done so are requested to get in touch with Mr.<br />

Christman at once.<br />
