(MADISON) - A man scheduled to be part of the Madison High School class of 1945 has finally received his diploma.

The Madison Consolidated School Corporation awarded Bickers a diploma under a state law saying world War Two veterans who never received degrees because they chose to be veterans should be made academically whole.
