Ensign Rubin Keltch was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross and the Purple Heart, which was lost until recently.
NEW YORK — A lost Purple Heart medal is being returned to the family of a New York City sailor who died trying to rescue shipmates after his Navy vessel was attacked by a German submarine during World War II.
Ensign Rubin Keltch’s medal was given to his niece during a ceremony Friday at a Bronx park named for him.
The Vermont-based group Purple Hearts Reunited says a Vermont man found the medal in his father's collection of flea market purchases.
