Ninety-seven-year-old Private First Class Arthur Brodin was simply grateful for his Colorado home and his health. But during a private tour to the WWII battle sites Brodin served at, his family realized that their beloved patriarch was entitled to more.

It never occurred to the WWII veteran that he might qualify for medals for his service in the U.S. Army more than seven decades ago, reported the Littleton Independent.
