A Military Family's Push to Get a War Hero the Recognition He Deserved
Despite recommendations from a number of officers, it would take Fred McGee until after his death in 2020 for McGee's actions to be fully recognized.
He received the Silver Star & 2 Purple Hearts for his actions in Korea.
Approval to award Cpl. McGee the Medal of Honor now sits on President Joe Biden's desk.
