As a nation we are blessed to have organizations like Purple Hearts Reunited, the only US organization committed to returning lost or stolen medals to veterans & military families. The 501C3 researches & locates the original recipient or family &, when possible, conducts a “Return Ceremony” to reunite the veteran or family with the medal… to date they have returned over 200 lost medals to veterans who earned a purple heart.
