Purple Heart Stolen From Soldier's Home

SHELBY, N.S. -- Someone stole a Purple Heart from a soldier’s home in Cleveland County.
“I couldn't understand why someone would want to steal that,” he said.
He was awarded the Purple Heart after a roadside bomb in Iraq jarred the truck he was in. He was hospitalized for 13 months and eventually given a medical discharge from the Army.
On October 10, someone broke into his home just north of Shelby. He came home and learned two cell phones were missing.
“I went to the area where I had all my metals. They were all thrown around and I had a feeling that one would be taken,” he said.
The ribbon and metal that make up the Purple Heart are worth very little, but because it is only given to those injured on battle it's invaluable to Shytle.
“It just means sentimental value to me,” he said.
