This May 11, 2015 photo provided by Zachariah Fike of Purple Hearts Reunited shows Pvt. Daniel Quinlan's Purple Heart. The medal, one of the first Purple Heart medals ever awarded to American military personnel is being returned to a relative of Quinlan's, who received it for wounds suffered during World War I. Purple Hearts Reunited said Quinlan’s medal was sent to the Vermont-based group recently with a note saying it was found in the mid-1990s in the attic of a Hudson Valley home near where Quinlan lived before he died in a 1938 car crash.
