Narvol, a World War II Army veteran, received his Purple Heart Award
nearly 70 years after being wounded by enemy fire in the spring of 1942
by Brig. Gen. Bud R. Jameson, Jr., commander of the 316th Expeditionary
Sustainment Command.
After decades of work on his own, the office
of Sen. Robert Casey, Jr., was able to locate and process the proper
award paperwork.
Jaren Love, a constituent advocate for Casey
presented Narvol with a letter of thanks from the senator for his
service to the nation on January 24, 2012.
Narvol served as an
engineer sergeant in the Pacific Theater and received the Silver Star
for his actions of valor during the conflict that day.
