Wednesday, U.S. Representative Emanuel Cleaver, II (D-MO) presented a long-awaited medal and certificate to retired Army veteran, Steven Fuhr. After retiring from the Army in 2013, Mr. Fuhr initiated casework with Rep. Cleaver’s district offices in 2016, seeking assistance in obtaining requisite retirement documents and entitled, but unawarded, service medals. In April, Rep. Cleaver’s office received Mr. Fuhr’s Meritorious Service Medal and certificate from the Department of the Army.
“This is what it is all about – serving those who have served us,” said Congressman Cleaver. “I am humbled and honored to present Mr. Fuhr his welldeserved Meritorious Service Medal and certificate this afternoon for his dedicated service to our country. While I still eagerly await the retirement packet he rightfully earned from the Army, my staff and I will continue working to ensure his case is resolved as soon as possible. These services are integral to our role as Members of Congress and our commitment to dutifully serving our constituencies, and it brings me great joy to
see the favorable resolution of casework for constituents that reach out to my office.”
