Eighty-nine-year-old James Brown, wounded in battle while fighting behind enemy lines in the Korean War, has waited 70 years to be recognized as a United States veteran.
Law students and professors working with Wake Forest University School of Law's Veterans Legal Clinic have helped Brown with the long legal battle to correct his military record and restore his right to be buried with the American flag he fought for so many years ago.
On Saturday, Nov. 12, he will be honored during half-time of the Wake Forest football game. The short ceremony will celebrate the setting aside of his dishonorable discharge and the restoration of the Purple Heart he earned for injuries sustained in the war.
