\nOn September 20, 2010, Schumer presented a long overdue Purple Heart to Irving Mann, a Rochester resident and World War II veteran. Mr. Mann was injured in December of 1944 when his unit was attacked at the Saar River, yet he was denied his Purple Heart due to the fact that the injury was misreported and misclassified. For more than a decade Mr. Mann has been working to secure the Purple Heart that was owed to him, and Schumer was finally able to cut through the red tape and get him the recognition he deserved.
