Former WWII medical officer receives long overdue medals
WASHINGTON -- Eugene M. Narsete, M.D., is presented the Army Good Conduct Medal, American Campaign Medal and the World War II Victory Medal by Col. Sean Murphy, Deputy Assistant Surgeon General for Healthcare Operations, during a dinner celebrating Narsete’s 90th birthday here, Jan 7, 2012. Narsete performed duty within the continental United States for one year during WWII as a private first class. He then attended medical school at Loyola University with the promise he would return to serve as a doctor in the U.S. Armed Forces. After he received his medical degree he accepted a commission and Headquarters Army Air Forces in Washington D.C. and named Capt. Narsete as an Aviation Medical Officer in 1946. Narsete never received his medals during his career. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Tiffany Trojca)
