My dad was wounded in Sept of 1950 in Korea, there was a big article in the newspaper at that time as he rec'd the highest medal you could get while alive, is there anyone who might be able to get me a copy of this, I would gladly pay for it, I live in Mo. and am housebound. The paper was from Portland, Ore. His name was Srg Jack Willis Cates. He was wounded twice in 1950 but only one told of him rescuing people and getting this medal. thank you kindly for reading this linda

the article would have to have a reference to the Purple Heart medal.
