On Jan 11, one World War II veteran and native of Jordan, Minn. was given an extra special surprise about his wartime service. Retired Private First Class Burdette C. Stief, 2nd Battalion, 112th Infantry Regiment United States Army was invited to the office of the Minnesota Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Richard Nash. The General and longtime friend, wanted to surprise him with a Bronze Star medal for his wartime service.As stated in his award citation, ‘Private 1st Class Stief separated himself from his peer by exceptionally meritorious wartime service while assigned with the unit from December 1943 to November 1945… Private First Class Steif’s loyalty, duty, selfless service, and personal courage are commensurate with his generation’s laudable sacrifice and sense of duty which defined the greatest generation and led to the defeat of the axis powers in World War II. ’
