In this Nov. 15, 2017 photo, Dan Welch, 65, of Smithfield, Ill., holds up pictures and military records of his dad, Woodrow "Woody" Welch, who was a 1st Sgt. in the U.S. Army during WWII. For years, Welch wondered whatever came of his father's old medals from World War II. Armed with his Dad's DD-214 military form and a tax return that had his father's Social Security number, he contacted U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth's office. The staff from the Illinois Democrat and veteran of a Peoria-based Illinois Army National Guard helicopter unit, investigated and the office is arranging to get the medals to the family.
