Comments: Seeking any info on my Dad.Who passed away in 1995 of cancer. Dad never talked about Korea unless it was something funny or interesting. Two months before he passed away i learned that he had been awarded the "Bronze Star". I have a photo of him and what appears to be a "unit" picture.That I would be willing to share with someone.Dad spoke of A scar he had on his chin that he got during a battle where he said his unit got "overran" and that he was one of 10, Left alive out of 60 men. Words can not expess how much i loved my father or how proud i am of him and his service to this GREAT NATION. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him or my Mom.

I am a school teacher and have had many of these veterans in my class as guest speakers. They have all made a dramatic impact upon my students.

Thanks to all of our veterans,
