Link: Medal of Honor could be back in family soon | IndyStar.com. This is a great story. I do hope that it turns out that there really is a concrete connection that they can use and the Medal of Honor will go to the descendants of Joseph F. Carter.
Our own Medal of Honor recipient in the family was John Whitmore. His medal was lost in one of the two house fires his family suffered. So sad to have these family artifacts lost to fire or just misplaced. It breaks my heart to see the lack of family pride and honor some people show too.
I know of many family photos just tossed in the garbage because the descendants didn't want to deal with them. My husband's grandfather burned his wife's family photos because he was "mad' that she up and died!
