ELLENSBURG -- U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings will present a World War II veteran with eight medals, including a Bronze Star, he earned for his service.
Dee Eberhart of Ellensburg was deployed to France and Germany as a first scout in a rifle company until the end of the war. In 1945, his division moved on to occupation duty, where the soldiers discovered the Dachau concentration camp.
He'll receive his medals at a ceremony today at the Yakima Training Center.
