WWII medals returned to Ruth Bormann, widow of Navy seaman Melvin "Jake" Bormann.
Local Post Commander Roy Wagner in consultation with Past Commander Terry Vogel, contacted the Navy Personnel Command's Retired Records Division in St.Louis. Roy Wagner's wife Linda, an Auxiliary Member, mounted the medals in a shadow box for proper display.
The medals were returned in a ceremony on the Bormann front lawn, complete with Color Guard and family members in attendance.
