Maj. Gen. Charles Costanza, the 3rd Infantry Division commanding general, pins U.S Army Veteran Staff Sgt. Harold Nelson, an infantryman and Dogface Soldier, the Silver Star Medal during an award ceremony at Fort Carson, Colorado, Oct. 4th, 2022.
Harold Nelson, 107, of Denver was awarded the Silver Star in a ceremony at Fort Carson on Tuesday. Nelson received recognition for six death-defying amphibious landings during the war, FOX 31 Colorado reported. Nelson had also earned two Purple Hearts for sustaining injuries during the war. He earned his Silver Star roughly 8 decades ago, but because a military records facility had burned in a fire in the '70s, he was unable to receive the recognition he deserved.
