DELOY MAGEE wrote on August 3, 2010 City and State: FREEVILLE NY Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Sometime during his 2nd tour of duty, he was placed in a Heavy Mortar group. Then around 1958 or 1959 while on the battlefield, E.C. loaded a shell. The shell blew up and he was critically injured. E.C was first hospitalized somewhere overseas. He was there for a few months then he was well enough to be transported to a hospital state side and hospitalized for nearly a year. He never returned to the military. He passed away in 2005. When we contacted the military, the US Gov. was unable to find his records. My brother's records were probably destroyed in a fire according to US Gov. Maybe his tags were destroyed during the explosion and he was unidentified. Is there anyone in a M.A.S.H. unit that may remember such an incident? Can anyone remember E.C.? E.C. was a well-liked man. He was kind, generous, liked cigars and loved beer, lived in Texas with his girlfriend/now wife, Vera. Like many veterans he didn't like to talk about his war experience. It really leaves a hole in the information we have to give to help anyone remember him....I do remember him saying something about being on Pork Chop Hill, if that helps anyone. We think that Edward Charles (E.C.) Magee deserves to be buried with a military head stone and full honors deserving a veteran.
