Family Fights for Purple Heart Medal for Fallen Marine

This is the personal battle of two local sisters fighting to get what their brother earned 50 years ago this year: a Purple Heart medal. That medal is awarded to those wounded or killing while serving in the military. Marine Corps Corporal Ernest Hill died during an enemy operation in Vietnam. Now his family say they were stunned at the response as to why they never got the medal. Sarah Wallace reports.
