Comments: I am trying to help the family of James Stanley Brock (now deceased) obtain a Bronze Star decoration which apparently was awarded to Sgt. Brock.
James Stanley Brock served in the 1st Radio Sqdn. Det 13 in Korea during 1951-52. He died 6/8/05 in Charlotte NC. His CO in Korea was Capt. R.E. (Hop) Harriger. On behalf of Mr. Brock's daughter, Beth Kendall, I am attempting to determine the status of a Bronze Star award mentioned in a letter of 11 May 52 from Capt.Harriger to Sgt. Brock. I have a copy of the letter.
The award was not presented to Sgt. Brock and is not listed on his DD-214. The letter says that Capt. Harriger, Boone, Wilhelm and Nixon received their Bronze Star and that the paperwork for Sgt. Brock's decoration had been submitted to Group with FEAF next with final approval. I would like to contact any of the veterans mentioned above for information purposes or help. I did not serve in Mr. Brock's outfit but we both belong to the NC Chapter of the KWVABoone,.
Thank You for your help.
