## Resource

After 60 years of unacknowledged service, WWII and Vietnam veteran Charles Wolfe finally received his long-overdue military medals—thanks to his wife Sandy’s relentless advocacy. Despite bureaucratic delays and a massive backlog, she pushed tirelessly until Congressman Dave Min’s office intervened, leading to a moving ceremony on his 80th birthday where he was formally honored for his bravery and sacrifice. This powerful story is a tribute to perseverance, family support, and the enduring need to recognize those who served our country.
