U.S. Army veteran brought to tears after receiving Purple Heart 58 years laterStacey Sager has the details on the long-overdue honor. LONG ISLAND, New York (WABC) -- A clerical error that lasted 58 years was corrected Thursday when U.S. Army veteran Daniel Knote received a Purple Heart that had never been properly recorded in his military service record. For Knote, a 79-year-old U.S. Army veteran, the recognition came decades after the events that earned it. Despite the attention surrounding the long-overdue recognition, Knote downplayed his role. However, the Purple Heart was never properly documented in his service record.
