I never imagined meeting a veteran of the Blue Ridge Division, whilst visiting Normandy, France, for the D-Day Commemorations:

Peters Purple Heart citation (April 1945) following his November 11th, 1944 injury in France (as mentioned above in the interview).
It looks like the 319th Infantry Regiment's paperwork was 'falling a bit behind', and 'catch up' was in full throttle close to VE Day!
