The Fourth of July weekend just got a little sweeter for Blountville resident Dagmar Burke.

Burke’s father was a World War II veteran who died in 1987. Her father, Charles Robert Congos, earned four medals, a pin and a badge for his service in the United States Army. Now, Burke has been reunited with her father’s medals thanks to U.S. Rep. Diana Harshbarger and her team.

“I’m so glad this happened,” Burke said after receiving the medals on Friday at Harshbarger’s Kingsport office. “It’s overwhelming. This is all I have left of my dad.”
