The quest to honor an Oro Grande Army hero's memory continues in the High Desert. Nearly five years after a Purple Heart that belonged to Army Lt. Manuel Rodriguez was delivered to the Victor Valley Museum for display, another group of medals has arrived there. Holding a flag display case filled with his uncle's medals, Air Force veteran David Carrasco, 83, wept as he laid eyes on his uncle's Purple Heart affixed to the wall inside the 'Military in the Mojave' display room. The Apple Valley museum is operated by the County of San Bernardino.
