John Spencer Jr. – now 73 – was broke into tears after being given a Purple Heart, the Combat Infantryman Badge and the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross at the University of North Carolina School of Law for his service, according to the university.
The Nov. 4 ceremony included a presentation of the colors by the UNC Army ROTC and rendition of the National Anthem and remarks from Martin Brinkley, dean of the UNC School of Law, according to the Daily Tar Heel.
The honors came after a band of students from the UNC School of Law’s Military and Veterans Law Clinic fought to restore his veteran status after it was unfairly taken from him roughly five decades ago, according to the UNC School of Law.
