Bronze Star
Comes 40
Years Late
Forty years ago, Claude J. Smith of
Warrenton was notified that he had
been awarded a Bronze Star for his ser
vice in the U.S. Army in the European
African-Middle Eastern Theatre of
Operations during World War EL This
past September, Smith finally receiv
ed the medal, along with a commenda
tion from President Reagan for
"meritorious achievement in combat
against an armed enemy." According
to Smith, a friend who prefers to re
main anonymous recently decided the
time had come for Smith to get the
military decorations he deserved and
undertook the task of greasing the
wheels of government bureaucracy.
Smith, shown here with the Bronze
Star and other medals of commenda
tion, said this week that he served 310
days on the front lines and never got a
scratch. "I got my medals," Smith said
with a smile, "and that's all I want."
Smith, a Henderson native, served in
the Army from 194345. An employee of
A&P Grocery in Warrenton, he will
retire after 33 years of service in
February.

Unexpected Gift Found
By Afton-Elberon Man
William L. Fuller, Jr.,
of Afton, received an
unexpected belated
birthday greeting last
week, unbeknownst to
the sender.
On Tuesday Fuller,
whose birthday was
Monday, noticed an
unusual white object in
his pasture. Upon
examination with
binoculars, he deter
mined that the foreign
object was a cluster of
"Happy Birthday"
balloons which had been
snagged by a tree limb.
Fuller retrieved the
balloons and learned
from the inscription that
the balloons had been
sent to Jackie Dean of
Louisburg.
During the weekend,
Fuller's wife, Eleanor,
telephoned Dean and
learned that the
balloons had been sent
to him anonymously on
the preceding Saturday,
a day before his birth
day. Somehow, Dean
said, the helium-filled
balloons disappeared
from his residence on
Monday.
The chain of events
amounted to one of those
coincidental happenings
which come along
rarely.
