Congressman to Recognize Local Veteran with Award
POSTED 8:49 a.m. 6/20/10 A U.S. Army veteran will be honored with a medal on Monday.

17th District Congressman Phil Hare will present Davey Lee Morse, a 28-year Army veteran from Galesburg, with the Meritorious Service Medal. Hare says the recommendation for Morse's award was lost and the Rock Island Democrat helped him retrieve it.

The Meritorious Service Medal is a military award presented to members of the U.S. Armed Forces who distinguished themselves by outstanding non-combat meritorious achievement or service to the United States.

The presentation will be held at 1 p.m. Monday at Hare's office at 261 North Broad Street, Suite 5.
