Captain Zachariah Fike knows how to go above and beyond the call of duty. However, his most notable mission has occurred far from the front lines. The Vermont Army National Guard captain finds lost military Purple Heart medals and returns them to the rightful owners.

Zac knows the significance of a Purple Heart - he earned his own when he was wounded in Afghanistan.

Through his efforts, Captain Zachariah Fike hopes to salute the memory of this nation's brave soldiers and restore a vital part of their military legacy.
