A U.S. Army private who fought in World War II and died less than three weeks before the Nazis surrendered, ending the war in the European theater, was posthumously awarded medals Wednesday.
Hardy’s brother, U.S. Army Pvt. Gordon Lee Hardy, was just shy of 20 when he was killed in action on April 18, 1945, near Leipzig,"Over seven decades later, I am honored to finally deliver long-overdue recognition for Private Hardy’s extraordinary service that his family deserves," Congressman Barr said in a statement provided to Fox News.
The medals and decorations posthumously awarded to Pvt. Hardy were a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart, a Combat Infantry Badge, a European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medical with a Bronze Service Star, an Army Good Conduct Medal, a WWII victory medal and an Honorable Service lapel pin. "It was an overwhelming experience for him to see those seven medals and know that had finally been recognized after 76 years," William said.
