ONONDAGA COUNTY -- It took more than 40 years, but now Larry Dobson of Baldwinsville finally has a Purple Heart for Vietnam. Dobson was a nineteen year old soldier with the 82nd Airborne when a truck he was riding in hit a landmine. Dobson spent months recovering from his wounds. He recovered but his medal never came. CBS 5's Brandon Roth says it finally happened thanks to the work of his wife and Senator Chuck Schumer.
