Elvin “Speed” Homan, a World War II veteran, was conferred with France’s highest honor Saturday morning, the Knight of Legion of Honor medal.
Homan, a Brownton native who later resided in Glencoe and is now a resident of Harmony River Living Center in Hutchinson, received the medal from French Consul General Guillaume Lacroix.
“This is a great honor,” said Homan. “I thought I’d never get it.”
