Silver Star hero
Relatives laugh as Debra Morris, second from left, a niece of the late Master Sgt. James Calfee, shows a photo of her uncle from his high school yearbook in Houston, Texas, Aug. 22, 2012. Calfee, who was posthumously awarded the Silver Star Medal, was killed in action in Laos in 1968. (U.S. Air Force photo/Val Gempis)
