    Actions that make heroes

    Medford man returns rare handgun to Medal of Honor winner

    August 08, 2011
    By Paul Fattig
    Mail Tribune

    A historic Colt .45-caliber, semi-automatic pistol stolen more than 30 years ago from a Medal of Honor winner in South Carolina has been returned to its rightful owner.

    The gun and owner were reunited after a history buff in Medford, who bought the old handgun in an online auction last month, tracked down the retired Marine whose name is engraved on it.
