Joseph S. Argenziano Info n Photos

Comments: Hello again. I'm still looking for all the information I can get on My Uncle Joe and how he died. My Grandmother and I filled out a form for his Individual Death Record (always forget if thats the file's actual name) but it doesnt really say how he died. There have been "rumors" that he was killed execution style, other "rumors" he was shot many times in the back, or in the neck...in other words still no actual confirmation of cause of death...also no word on the man the army had escort my Uncle's body home...I'm also writing this to find out if anyone has photos of my Uncle Joe or maybe of his unit...maybe you dont remember him but he may be in photos of your unit. Thank you all again. Lizz Ross

Comments: I am interested in any information I can receive regarding people who might remember action of Oct. 19, 1951. The many friends of Ralph W. Frederick would like to get the recognition he deserves. Anyone who remembers a member of the unit named "Gullert," please contact me. He and Ralph were both hit early in this engagement and Ralph saved his comrade. He was recommended for a decoration, but the confusion of battle and the dispersal of witnesses has made it difficult to reconstruct the details. I am a good friend of Ralph, and I would like to have him receive the recognition he deserves for his heroism in saving a wounded comrade under fire, while he was wounded as well.

Presenting the medal was the 19th Infantry Regiments Commander Lt.Col. P.W. Garland. The photo, from the Clarion-Ledger newspaper in Jackson, Mississippi, says that SFC Ryan has been on frontline duty for 8 months and arrived in July. Does anyone have any information at all about the medal my Grandfather was receiving? I believe he also received several other medals, my Grandmother gave them all to me but I have no details. I would love to know more about Papaw's military service. Thank you...
