Earlier this week, Congressman Dave Camp (R-Midland) met with four local veterans to present medals they hadn’t previously received for their service in the United States armed forces.

“It is so important we honor our heroes,” Camp said. "These medals are a very sobering symbol when you think of the commitment people made,” Camp said.
