May 17, 2013 Retired U.S. Army Sgt. Michael Griffin is so averse to gloating about his heroic actions that his own sister nearly missed his medal of valor ceremony Thursday because he downplayed it so.Griffin, 34, of Carpentersville, was presented the Army Commendation Medal of Valor in a ceremony at VFW Post 1307 in Elgin. The medal was issued in 2006 but was lost in a bureaucratic snafu, officials said. Source: http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130517/news/705179817/ |
