From Elkhorn, Neb.: A teenage girl took action to show appreciation for a veteran's service. She was inspired by a ceremony where a flag was presented to Marine Cpl. Rex Gruber, who served in Korea. Gruber had been deployed at 17 and was injured in battle, with fragments of a bullet still in his heel.

For years, Gruber felt his sacrifice went unrecognized after returning home. The girl, who moved from South Korea, sought to change this by taking steps to honor him. Further details about her efforts are available from the source.
