In the 11 months and 25 days between John Guttridge's arrival and departure, he earned a Purple Heart, a National Defense Service Medal, a Vietnam campaign medal and a small collection of Overseas Service Ribbons. In the 53 years between then and Friday, his family lost them all. His daughter and grandson surprised him Friday by replacing them.
