    Comments: My father, Robert D. Smith (probably went by Donald), was a medic attached to the 1st Cavalry Division, 5th Cavalry Regiment, King Company.

    He was severely wounded on October 7, 1951 by mortar fire while the unit was trying to take a rail head near Chiam-Ni,in an area called the iron triangle. Before leaving Korea for Japan he was told by his sergeant (he can't remember his name) that he was being recommended for the Bronze Star and saw the paperwork for it but never received it nor heard any more about it.

    I would appreciate any and all help you could provide either in finding out if in fact he should have received it or in pointing me in the right direction.

    My father is doing well and would like to hear from anyone he served with. You can reach him through my e-mail address.

    My sincere thanks. Eric Smith dezertdude@verizon.net

    Purple Heart

    Lance Burris wrote on 2007-09-20 15:06:53.0

    Comments: Like Steve Lasko, I too am in pursuit of getting my father his Purple Heart he earned during the Korean War. He was stationed with the 1st Cav vic, 5th Regt, E Co. when he was wounded and sent home to the hospital in San Francisco. I was just a child in 6th grade, but remember it well. While I went to school in SF, he was in and out of the hospital for a year. I have tried in vain with the Army Review Board and turned down twice because of lack of what they call "evidence." Most of his records were destroyed in the records fire in St Louis. But I did have two documents from the War Department telling about his injuries and that my mother had been notified he was being sent to SF. I am now in search of those who may have known my father (Sgt. Avis William Burris) and about his injury and who would be willing to write a letter to that fact that I can present to the Army Review Board. Nothing would serve me with greater honor than place the Purple Heart on his grave. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

    Lance M. Burris (vet)

    To Steve: You can contact a MSG Richard R. Gallmeyer at msg1gal@aol.com who may be able to help you. He has supplied me with names of some who did serve in his company during 1950-51 who, hopefully, remember my father.
