More than 70 years after Clyde Shull of Upper Sandusky stormed Utah Beach on D-Day as a Ninth Infantry Division artillery gunner, the government of France will repay his heroism by awarding him its highest medal - the Legion of Honor. On Monday, a French colonel who serves as a U.S. Army liaison will present the decoration to the 96-year-old great-grandfather in a ceremony at the Wyandot County Courthouse. The honor is part of a French program to express the nations gratitude to U.S. soldiers who liberated it from invaders in World Wars I and II. cleveland/metro/index.ssf/2015/01/ohio_world_war_ii_veteran_to_g.html
