Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05) presented service medals in a ceremony to three veterans on Monday, October 2, at her Clemmons office.

Ray Sipe, 84, of Alexander County, served in World War II. Congresswoman Foxx presented him with the Bronze Star Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with One Bronze Star, Combat Infantryman Badge 1st Award and Honorable Service Lapel Button.

“One of the constituent services I enjoy the most is helping obtain medals for our nation's veterans,” said Congresswoman Foxx. “These well-deserved medals are a symbol of courage, accomplishment, bravery and honor in the line of duty. The medals bestowed upon these three men are important symbols from our nation thanking them for answering the call of duty and putting their lives on the line in the advancement of freedom against tyranny,” continued Rep. Foxx.

“I was honored to thank these gentlemen for their service by presenting them the medals they have rightfully earned. They are an inspiration for our current soldiers and for generations to come,” Congresswoman Foxx concluded.
