Sgt. James C. Klecka

Comments: James C. is my father. He passed away in 1976 at too young an age. Unfortunately, he had not shared many stories of his Korean War experience. He was awarded the Bronze Star in the battle (I believe) in which Gen. Dean was captured. I know that he had many friendships during the war which he valued tremendously.

I am interested in any information which may pertain to my father. Is there a way to view medal citations etc.

Thank You!

PFC Robert Becker

Comments: My father, PFC Robert Becker, served in Korea from late '51 to mid '52 (or thereabouts. He celebrated his 19th birthday on R&R in Tokyo (11/51). If I remember correctly, he arrived in time for the first major retreat.

His front line experience was limited-- only a few weeks, I think. Most of that time was spent bugging out w/ everyone else. He eventually landed in crypto, where he finished out his tour. Although his first hand experience at the front was brief, he saw plenty. I'm sure of that because he never said anything about it until a few years ago. What he finally told me was strikingly similar to SFC Harris' accounts published on this site. Dad's a retired steelworker now. He just got his medals and ribbons about 18 months ago, just before Christmas of '98. He said he got them for me to have. I've never been more proud. I took his decorations to my girlfriend's home in suburban Detroit, thinking--foolishly, in hindsight--that these wealthy folks would be as awestruck as myself. Needless to say, they weren't particularly impressed. I knew I could never look at any of those people the same way again. I had never been so insulted in my life. I was prepared to enlist in the Army after high school, mainly because I thought I could use the discipline (rightfully so). My father flatly refused to allow me to. He insisted on sending me to college (he probably didn't have to try too hard!) for an opportunity he never had. He always said if another war broke out, he'd send me to Canada before I had to go through what he did. He would have had a hard time winning that argument. Dad is a pretty simple man. He always wanted the best for his kids, always wanted us to have the breaks he never got. He is a veteran of a foreign conflict that few people acknowledge--including himself, until recently. It might be difficult to convince people of my generation (I'm 27) that my father is an American hero. I guess I can understand that. I'm convinced though. As far as I can recall, he was, is, and always will be my hero.

To all who served, I am forever in debt. Your deeds have not gone unrecognized. Your actions not in vain. I believe in America. Greater than that, however, I believe in you.

Sincerest Regards,

Robert Sean Becker
