World War II vets receive Bronze Stars after 62 years

Gen. Ronald E. Keys poses for a photo with John McCurdy, Kay Nehring (daughter of Charles Nehring), John Bucko, Eugene Peterson and Francis Goldberg. The five received long overdue Bronze Stars for their heroism during World War II. Ms. Nehring's father was unable to make the trip so she accepted the medal for him. The paperwork for the medals had been misfiled and rediscovered more than 60 years later. The men were unaware they were supposed to receive the medals. General Keys is commander of Air Combat Command. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Cohen A. Young)
