Arizona woman returns 1950s Purple Heart to man's family after finding it at thrift store
PHOENIX - A family has been reunited with their father’s Purple Heart more than three decades after he died, thanks to a bit of sleuthing.Teresa Ferrin discovered the Purple Heart — along with several other military awards — at a thrift shop in Phoenix, Arizona, where she volunteers once a week. Ferrin explained to Fox News that her job involves pricing the donated items before displaying them on the shop's floor. But about two weeks ago, someone dropped off the military awards, making sure to point out the Purple Heart among the collection. She inspected the medal and found a name on the back.
