31ST INFANTRY, OUTPOST HARRY, KOREA, 10-18 JUNE 1953 |
| BRUCE JENSEN wrote on November 22, 2010 City and State: CA Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Hi, all - My father, Harold N. Jensen, arrived in Korea as a PFC in the first half of 1953 from the 7th Infantry Division, and I believe was transferred locally to the 31st, where I think he participated in the 10 June - 18 June siege in defense of Outpost Harry. It was on 11 June 1953 that he was awarded his Combat Infantry Badge, and was part of a unit (currently unidentified to me) that later received a Distinguished Unit Citation (also Presidential Unit Citation), which I believe may have been awarded for this very same first night of combat at Outpost Harry. The DUC/PUC was probably awarded 6 days after his DD- 214 release papers were typed up in September 1954, and so show no such award; official records of this incident may have burned in the 1973 fire. He has the gold-framed PUC ribbon, but no original paperwork. I would be extremely grateful if anyone here might have some information on this event, and I would be especially excited if anyone recalls my Dad from this time. To all the veterans here, we are grateful for your service and wish you all the very best. Thank you - Bruce Jensen and Family Keywords: 31st Infantry, 7th Infantry, Eighth Army, Korea, 10 June 1953, Outpost Harry |

GLENN A. CARTER 31T INFANTRY B CO. |
| MERRIE MILLER wrote on August 28, 2010 City and State: PORTLAND OR Unit: 7 INF. DIV. 31ST INF. COMPANY B Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My Father, Glenn Carter was just 20 yrs. old when he was shot in Hellfire Valley on Nov. 30, 1950. He was briefly taken captive, but someone saw his head wound and didn't think he'd survive, so he escaped with my father. We never knew the name of this man. My father was a Pvt. and a machine gunner. He was 6'2" with real curly brown hair and green eyes (very handsome). He was also at Letterman Hospital from Jan 1951-June 1952 when he was given a full medical discharge. He had a wound to his frontal lobes so he raised a lot of ruckus at Letterman hospital drinking and getting into fights. Perhaps someone knows him from there. Keywords: Task force Drysdale, Hellfire Valley, Letterman Hospital |
