.A True War Hero. Part II.

So as I had stated last week, Quinn traveled to Kentucky to go accept a POW Medal for his Great Uncle John V. Scanlan, a P-51 Mustang fighter who was shot down by enemy fire on June 23, 1945. After more than 60 years, last Friday, February 27, 2009 Quinn and his family were finally given the closure that they had been seeking all these years.

Below are some pictures from the ceremony as well as links to Louisville news broadcasts.
