West Virginia is one of the most patriotic states in the nation and that’s why I was proud to help Mrs. Vernon Young of Charleston obtain replacement medals earned by her late husband during World War II.

Mr. Kester Young served in the U.S. Army as a Communications Chief from 1942 to 1944, and suffered a shrapnel injury while he was stationed in France. When Mrs. Young reached out to my office, she didn’t know what medals he had earned because he never spoke to her about his service. My caseworker, Kim Berry, was able to secure Mr. Young’s replacement medals from the Army, including: the Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster, European – African – Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with 2 Bronze Stars and the World War II Victory Medal, the Expert Infantryman Badge, Honorable Service WWII Lapel Button, the Good Conduct Medal, and the Marksman Badge and Rifle Bar. I’m proud to report that my staff recently delivered these medals to Mrs. Young at her home in Charleston.
It was an honor to assist this wonderful family in honoring a true West Virginia hero and thanking him for his service. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance with a state or federal agency, please contact my office at 304-342-5855. My staff and I are always ready to help fellow West Virginians! |

I had the privilege of addressing my friends and former colleagues on the state Senate and the House of Delegates floor. During my time at the Capitol, I had the chance to talk with West Virginians visiting in our Capitol and hear their common sense thoughts and ideas on how we can make our state and country work better.
