Purple Heart awarded to West Michigan veteran reunited with family FOX17 and last updated 2021-05-31 22:19:23-04 PORTLAND, Mich. — A Purple Heart awarded to a West Michigan man injured during the Vietnam War is back with his family, who, until recently, did not know it existed. “I’m glad to have this back,” said Matthew Smith while holding the medal on Monday. “It means a lot of different things all at once. It’s just almost unworldly in a sense.” During the Vietnam War in 1968, Smith’s father, Army Sgt. Stephen D. Smith, was drafted to the 101st Airborne Division, where he served as a radio paratrooper.
