Sus valientes acciones salvaron innumerables vidas, y el ej\u00e9rcito de EE. UU. otorg\u00f3 al Sr. Selko la insignia de m\u00e9dico de campo de combate y dos estrellas de bronce por sus acciones en la Segunda Guerra Mundial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El hijo del Sr. Selko, Jamie Selko, se comunic\u00f3 con la oficina de Jeff Merkley en febrero de 2014 para preguntar si su padre era elegible para un reconocimiento adicional por sus acciones. Jamie esperaba sorprender a su padre con honores militares adicionales en un evento con toda la familia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Para abril, la oficina de Jeff hab\u00eda logrado obtener el premio de la Legi\u00f3n de Honor francesa para el Sr. Selko. El proceso tom\u00f3 algunos meses de coordinaci\u00f3n con el gobierno franc\u00e9s, pero finalmente, la Legi\u00f3n de Honor, el premio m\u00e1s alto en Francia, fue otorgado al Sr. Selko. Una vez que se complet\u00f3 el papeleo, se realiz\u00f3 una ceremonia de entrega de la medalla en Eugene. La familia del Sr. Selko vol\u00f3 desde Texas e Idaho para celebrar sus valientes acciones durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quiz\u00e1s lo mejor de todo es que el premio fue una completa sorpresa para el Sr. Selko, quien expres\u00f3 su felicidad por recibir el honor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Register-Guard-Fred-Selko-Photo_500.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Register-Guard-Fred-Selko-Photo_500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Register-Guard-Fred-Selko-Photo_500-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Register-Guard-Fred-Selko-Photo_500-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Register-Guard-Fred-Selko-Photo_500-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During World War II, Eugene resident Fred Selko served as a medic in France.
