Purple Hearts Reunited Comes Through Again

by Hondo••1

T/Sgt. Emilio Ricci was a medic in the Pacific during World War II. He was assigned to the 43rd Infantry Division.

71 years ago today, he was KIA. His NOK at the time received his Purple Heart.

Over the years, T/Sgt Emilio’s Purple Heart. . . wandered. The medal was rediscovered in a VFW attic in 2011.

A recent vet – also a Purple Heart recipient – notified Purple Hearts Reunited. Today, the medal was returned to T/Sgt Ricci’s family.

Well done, all. And especially well done, Purple Hearts Reunited.
