Pennsylvania Treasury Seeks Public Assistance to Return Nearly 500 Unclaimed Military Decorations

Pennsylvania State Treasurer Stacy Garrity is urging the public to help locate military service members and their families to facilitate the return of over 475 unclaimed military decorations. These decorations are currently stored in the Treasury vault. Since assuming office in 2021, Treasurer Garrity has successfully returned nearly 600 military decorations to veterans or their descendants. Among the returned items are 13 Purple Hearts, four Bronze Stars, and a Gold Star medal. The Treasury emphasizes that each decoration represents a significant part of a veteran's service story and honors their sacrifices. Notable returns this year include a U.S. Army Good Conduct Medal to the son of World War II Sgt. George Pershing, who participated in the D-Day invasion and the Battle of the Bulge. Additionally, a Ruptured Duck Lapel Pin was returned to the family of World War II veteran Earl F. Detweiler, a Purple Heart recipient who advocated for disabled veterans.
