Col. J.J. Carusone, recommended Fate be awarded the Bronze Star. But after the war, the paperwork got lost, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abqjournal.com\/1011383\/belated-thankyou-for-a-good-soldier.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link: https:\/\/www.abqjournal.com\/1011383\/belated-thankyou-for-a-good-soldier.html\">Albuquerque Journal<\/a>\u00a0reported. <br\/><br\/>Retired Col. Fate died at age 94 in 2013, when his children found the award recommendation stowed away in his records. They decided to present their father&#8217;s case to the Army.<br\/><br\/>Last month, Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., presented the Bronze Star to Fate&#8217;s three children in a ceremony at the New Mexico Veterans Memorial in Albuquerque.<br\/><br\/>&#8220;This would have meant a whole lot to him,&#8221; Dick Fate, Robert&#8217;s son, told the Albuquerque Journal.<br\/><br\/>Fate retired in 1963 after serving 22 years with the Army. \u00a0He graduated from West Point in 1940, fought against Nazi Germany, led an attack to secure a crossing of the Danube River and conducted meticulous battle planning and execution, according to the news report. <br\/><br\/>He was executive officer of the 27th Tank Battalion in April 1945 when the unit led an attack to secure a river crossing. <br\/><br\/>Fate&#8217;s skill in waging the battle led Carusone to recommend then-Maj. Fate for the Bronze Star.<br\/><br\/>&#8220;During this battle, Maj. Fate continually executed the details of the plan so that throughout the entire battle, we had artillery fires and fires of our close-support weapons at all times,&#8221; Carusone wrote in the recommendation.<br\/><br\/>Dick Fate said in the Journal report that his father &#8220;made it clear to me that the one thing that was really important to him was being a good soldier \u2026 He somehow didn&#8217;t think that it had been a particularly successful career.\u00a0 That kind of broke my heart.&#8221;<br\/><br\/>Robert Fate&#8217;s daughter, Nancy Reddish added, &#8220;We know how much this would have meant to my father.&#8221;<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He died at age 94 in 2013, when his children found the recommendation stowed away in
