Vietnam veteran honored with Purple Heart 56 years after injury

A Vietnam veteran in Norman, Oklahoma, received his Purple Heart on Veterans Day, 56 years after being wounded in battle. Jimmy Ohlheiser was honored during a ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Monument in Oklahoma City. Ohlheiser was injured in 1968 but never received the medal due to administrative issues. His brother noted the severity of his injuries, which left him paralyzed on one side. With help from Senator James Lankford, the oversight was corrected, and Ohlheiser's service medals were officially recognized. The ceremony marked a significant moment for Ohlheiser and his family.
