Purple Heart presentation
WASHINGTON -- Maj. Gen. John L. Hudson presents John Martinez with a Purple Heart during a ceremony at the World War II Memorial here May 28. The presentation happened more than 59 years after the veteran's A-20 attack bomber crashed near Rhiems, France, causing a paralyzing spinal-cord injury. Mr. Martinez was a staff sergeant serving as an aerial gunner on the A-20. He was visiting here for the memorial's dedication. General Hudson is the Joint Strike Fighter program director at the Pentagon. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Jim Varhegyi)
