#b#Legion of Honor#/b#
Lewis Bloom, 94, of Plainsboro received a Legion of Honor medal on May 8 at West Point for his secret missions during World War II. An Army veteran, he served in Army Intelligence analyzing the strength, command structure, and weaponry of competing military forces.
He was awarded the medal by Francois Delattre, the French Ambassador to the United States; and Guy Wildenstein, president of the American Society of the French Legion of Honor. One of the highest awards in France, it was created by Napoleon in 1808.
Although Bloom’s contributions were overlooked for more than 65 years, his wife, Adaline, pursued his records that were lost in a sea of bureaucracy. He received the United States Army bronze star from Senator Robert Menendez in 2010.
