Fred Zurbuchen, 89, of Waupun poses for family pictures Thursday, Sept. 18, 2014, with his Purple Heart in the Eagle Hangar of the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh. Zurbuchen, who was a staff sergeant in the 8th Air Force during World War II, was injured Sept. 9, 1944, while flying his 10th of 25 missions as a B-17 ball turret gunner. After a fire destroyed his paper work shortly after the war, Zurbuchen tried everything he could to get his medal with no success. On Thursday, representatives of EAA and the U.S. Army surprised Zurbuchen with a ceremony to present him with the honor. (AP Photo/The Oshkosh Northwestern, Nathaniel Shuda)
