August 7 is National Purple Heart Day to honor those men and women injured in the their service to our country. Today's spotlight is on Marshall Joseph "Joe" Barger, Senior.

I was able to find 2 mentions of his service and injury in 1945.

Mr. Barger went on to work for the B&O Railroad in Brunswick for 23 years then operated a hauling business before his retirement. His obituary stated he was a member of the Stedman-Keenan Post 96, American Legion and the B&O Veterans.

Thank you for your service Joe!!
