U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly today released the latest installment of his \u201cJust Ask Joe\u201d video series, which highlights the many services available to Hoosiers from his office.\u00a0Joe Perch, a Knox resident and Navy veteran, who served during the Cuban Missile Crisis, contacted Donnelly\u2019s office seeking help to get missing military medals he had earned and been waiting for 54 years to receive. Donnelly\u2019s office reached out to the Department of the Navy on Mr. Perch\u2019s behalf and secured four medals in recognition of his efforts to stop Russian ships from unloading cargo into Cuba. \u00a0\r\n\r\nTo watch the \u201cJust Ask Joe\u201d video featuring Knox resident and Navy veteran Joe Perch, click\u00a0here.\r\nDonnelly encourages any Hoosier in need of assistance with a federal agency to contact his Indianapolis office at 317-226-5555.
