Azle man finally receives Purple Heart after 57 years
Til Shockley, 83, of Azle, received his Purple Heart and Bronze Star at Joint Reserve Air Station after a delay spanning 57 years and six months. He earned the Purple Heart during the Battle of Okinawa in June 1945, where 137 soldiers faced heavy resistance and 17 returned. His medals arrived by mail amid lost records, a fire, and a lengthy bureaucratic process. Shockley, who survived a grenade blast and later returned to civilian life in Texas, is remembered as a good soldier and father by family and friends.
