Five New Hampshire veterans have been given their long overdue medals for service in Korea and Vietnam.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen joined military officials at a ceremony Monday to present medals to Philip Meader, Ronald Lemire and Jim Keefe for their service in Vietnam, John Parker for his service in Korea and James Smith for his service in both conflicts. Altogether, the men received 17 medals and awards.
Shaheen said it was a privilege to honor such brave and selfless veterans.
