Jim Corbran and Kevin Greiner never met each other until about a month ago, but for decades, they both pursued the same mysterious question: Who was Robert C. Greiner?
Robert C. Greiner was an Army infantryman who died in France in August 1944, in the waning days of World War II. He had been a shadowy presence in the lives of Jim Corbran and nephew Kevin Greiner for a long time.
Jim Corbran said the Purple Heart had been "hidden away" by his family since the 1940s. He said he and his sister, Patricia Hamilton, found it in the home of their father, Henry Corbran, after he died in 2005.
