99-year-old WWII veteran awarded Purple Heart after waiting more than 80 years

A 99-year-old Kentucky World War II veteran named Glenn Fisher has finally received the Purple Heart, nearly 80 years after being wounded in combat. Fisher, who enlisted in the Army at age 16 in 1943, was injured on March 25, 1945, while waiting to cross the Rhine River after German artillery struck his unit. His injuries were never properly documented during the war, leading to multiple failed attempts to claim the honor. With the help of longtime friend Jeff Thoke, who researched Fisher’s military service and compiled extensive documentation, Fisher was awarded the Purple Heart just months before his 100th birthday. The ceremony took place at Louisville’s Frazier History Museum, where Fisher expressed deep emotion over finally receiving the recognition. The story highlights both the personal struggle of a veteran seeking acknowledgment and the broader issue of delayed military honors.
