Decorated veteran's remains found at dump site

Decorated veteran's remains found at dump site

Staff Sgt. Delbert E. Hahn survived the invasion of Normandy. He was a two-time Purple Heart recipient, including one for his actions in the days immediately following D-Day.

But when it came to a final resting place, the war hero wasn't treated with honor or respect.

Hahn's cremated remains – along with those of his wife and a third person – were found in a pile of trash dumped behind a vacant college on Busch Boulevard.
