*** MEDIA ADVISORY *** Graves to Honor Vietnam Veteran with Medal Presentation

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Sam Graves will recognize Army Veteran Donald Wheeler's service to our country in a medal ceremony this Friday morning.

Donald Wheeler served in the U.S. Army from April 1967 through November 1969. The sudden death of his grandfather led to his expedited release from the Army and prevented Mr. Wheeler from receiving the medals he had earned for his heroic service to our nation. On Friday, Mr. Wheeler will be recognized with presentation of the following medals:

National Defense Service Medal

Vietnam Service Medal with 1 bronze service star with 1 silver service star

Republic of Vietnam Campaign Ribbon with Device (1960)
