Speaking with Pamela Lyle with the James Stewart Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and their effort to reunite a Purple Heart medal with the family of Atlanta native Raymond Leroy Mauldin. He was killed in action February 2, 1944, during the Battle of Anzio in Italy at the age of 19. The medal had been missing for four decades before it was discovered in a drawer as an estate was being settled. Private Mauldin's nephew, Gary Mauldin, had kept copious notes about the family history over the years, and those notes along with some intense digging by Pamela and her colleagues led to the opportunity to give the medal back to its rightful heirs in a private ceremony on May 2nd in Franklin, Georgia.
