Fox News
Earl Meyer, a 96-year-old Korean War veteran who was wounded in combat, received his Purple Heart medal after 73 years and a 'long fight with the U.S. Army.'
Afterward, Meyer recalled being at an earlier ceremony for veterans when Purple Heart honorees were asked to rise so they could be honored. Now, said Meyer, "I can stand up with them guys."
Understated and quick to deflect praise, he added: "It is nice. No doubt about that."
