A World War II veteran from New Jersey was presented with his service medals on Monday, more than 70 years after he served in the deadliest war in history.
Congressman Josh Gottheimer delivered the medals to 92-year-old Thomas Simpson Monday morning at the Sunrise of Old Tappan assisted living facility.
Rep. Gottheimer presented Simpson with the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal, the Honorable Reserve Discharge Button, and the Ruptured Duck Honorable Service Lapel Pin.
Simpson was determined to get the medals after a question from one of his grandsons.
