Tomball Plant Crafts Purple Hearts For Soldiers
Grace Awards, a Tomball metal shop with about 60 workers, crafts Purple Hearts and other medals mainly for the U.S. government. Owner Tom Tucker, a former Army captain, says demand soars with Iraq and Afghanistan wars as veterans seek replacements and wholesalers supply military bases. Visitors note the epoxy scent, precise hand finishing, and the sense of contributing to those who serve, with Tucker stressing pride in the process.
