Comments: I'm hoping to find anyone who knew my dad, Erwin Heerdegen, from Chicago, while he served as a forward observer in Korea. I'm trying to get him the Bronze Star he was recommended for but never received, for staying in his position after being over run and calling in artillery. Does any of this sound familiar?

Comments: I recently ran across a publication that describes in good detail the actions that took place in April thru July 1953 that involved areas where the 235th was deployed. "ENCYCLOPIDA OF THE KOREAN WAR",VOLUMN 1 , PAGES 140 & 141. I am also trying to locate a copy of the written document that accompanied the Presidential Unit award ( was also called Distinguyished Unit Citation) given To Battery "C".

Interested in hearing from old buddies or their kin.

My  father served in the Korean war. He died in 1986, I received an old
scrap book at that time. I have pictures, old news articals, Chinesse, 
and Korean money, and some reports detailing what his battalion did. 

My father's name was Charles E Burkey, grade pvt-2, ASN# us55226766 he
served with 235th Field Artilery Observation Battalion. I have the 
fighting 44th patch and an 8th Army patch. He underlined in one news 
story Outpost Texas ?

He received an Award of the Meritorious Unit Commendation which
Ido not have. Any help on how to put  together a time line of his 
service, and get the missing award would be appreciated. Also any other
information you think I may need please send it my way

THANK YOU
