Hmm I just thought this interesting when I came across it. Some of you may already heard of him.
Calvin Graham was only 12 when enlisted in the US Navy and received a Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his deeds, which were taken from him when his age was learned...and decades later reinstated - not receiving the Purple Heart again until after he had died.[/img] |
