现年99岁的二战老将格伦·费舍尔在他的百岁生日前寻求紫心, 他声称他在1945年3月受伤时穿越莱河. At 99, WWII veteran Glenn Fisher is seeking the Purple Heart before his 100th birthday, claiming he was wounded in March 1945 during the Rhine River crossing. 由于伪造年龄,他16岁就入伍了.他在英格兰,法国和荷兰服役. Enlisting at 16 by falsifying his age, he served in England, France, and the Netherlands. 虽然官方记录显示受伤日期为6月, 而不是3月. He says he was struck by shrapnel in an airburst that killed two comrades and injured 14 others, though official records list the injury date as June, not March. 据信在2023年手术期间发现的一块弹片已经消失了. A piece of shrapnel found in his body during a 2023 surgery—believed to have been there over 80 years—has since been lost. 虽然医疗记录证实住院, 但没有直接的文件支持他的受伤日期. While medical records confirm hospitalizations, no direct documentation supports his injury date. 他们的朋友和律师杰夫·托克说,缺乏官方证据是主要障碍, 但他们希望军队会在他的里程碑生日之前考虑间接证据和费舍尔的证词. His friend and advocate, Jeff Thoke, says the lack of official proof is the main obstacle, but they hope the Army will consider circumstantial evidence and Fisher’s testimony before his milestone birthday.
