Schumer to Present Overdue Purple Heart

Syracuse, NY (The Post-Standard) - Not only will NY Sen. Chuck Schumer be discussing baggage carry-on fees at Hancock Airport today, but he will also be presenting a Purple Heart to a Vietnam War veteran.

Larrdy Dobson, of Onondaga County, hit a booby trap while driving a truck on April 18, 1969 in the Vietnam War. He was denied a Purple Heart until Schumer intervened.
