A daughter’s pride in her father and persistence to see him honored were realized Monday. During a ceremony at Cumming City Hall, Johnson W. “Dub” Brown received eight medals for his military service in World War II. Brown’s daughter, Melanie Curtis, spent eight years appealing to various elected officials, from the president to Georgia governors, in an attempt to get her father’s actions recognized. District 9 Rep. Tom Graves finally was able to secure the medals, ribbons and pins, presenting them to Brown on Monday.
