Hello family,
Here is news of a World War II veteran in our family.
Mahlon Grant [1] was the son of Junius and Patsy Grant. He was in the Army and was awarded the Purple Heart after he was killed in service in North Africa during WWII. His remains are buried in Italy.
Darrick Selvy & MJ Burson located the Purple Heart and brought it to the 2010 Family Reunion in Atlanta, Georgia.
It was framed by Cousin Lee Bacon.
Please take a moment to look at the photos of the Purple Heart at
