Keywords: My dad received a purple heart in the Korean war. He carried out a person after they stepped on a land mine. My Dad had shrapnel in his neck, arms, and back. He is looking for any of his old buddies that may remember him. He was suppose to receive a bronze star also but that never happened and allot of his records are lost. I remember him talking allot about Bill Hill from Missouri, he was in the hospital in Korea for a while then flew back to San Fran.He was just wondering if any of his outfit was still around. if so please contact me and I would be happy to let him know.

Korean War - Frostbite - Purple Heart Question

Column_1_Spacer Column_2_Spacer
C.J. Payne wrote on 2008-02-06 22:08:01.0

Comments: Hi -

I've been trying to gather information regarding Purple Heart medal awards for Korean War frostbite victims and was hoping that someone might be able to help.

My dad suffered from frostbite to his feet and was evacuated through a number of US Army field hospitals during the Korean War. Although he (luckily) did not suffer loss of limb from this experience, he did receive a medical disability from the VA when he left the service.

I have been told that some Korean War veterans HAVE received a Purple Heart for their frostbite injuries; however, current military award regulations indicate that frostbite is NOT a qualifying injury. Perhaps the regulations simply changed over the years, I'm not sure...

The big question is: Was frostbite considered a qualifying injury for the Purple Heart medal during the Korean War(?).

Like a lot of Korean War veterans, he never received any kind of recognition--even though he came away from the service with a physical disability. I'd like to apply for this award on his behalf, if possible.

If there are any Korean War veterans who have been in a similar situation, I sure would love to get some feedback on this, it would be helpful.

Thanks -

Comments: I am looking for anyone who mights have served with my grandfather in Korea. Don't know what years. His name was Virgil David Rice, he went by Dave. He was a Staff Sargeant. I have 2 of his patches, one is a 7th Infantry, and the other is a 31st Armored Brigade. I was told he saw action on or near Porkchop hill. Spent several nights under a burned out truck with several others from his outfit. Any help would be a blessing. He died when I was young.
