"In my print column in the Coeur d'Alene Press, writes Councilwoman KerriT/OnLocation North Idaho, "there's more about these two very special North Idaho residents, Vernon Baker and Tom Norris. Coeur d'Alene was the birth place of perhaps one of the most famous Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, Gregory "Pappy" Boyington.

Question: Are you related to anyone who was honored for combat duty during a war?
