He had talked about a buddy he met in San Francisco that he knew pretty well but lost touch with. We lost my Father last month and foolishly did not write down the very few things he shared with us.

Comments: I am looking for information about A1C Desmond Wilkerson. He was killed in action in Korea on Nov 28, 1950. He was a medic assigned to the 3rd Rescue Squadron. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross in 1951. We don't know any of the events that took place the day he earned the DSC. I work at the AF Enlisted Heritage Research Institute. We are trying to preserve the story of our enlisted heritage. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Check out our website http://www.au.af.mil/au/cepme/heritage/homepage.htm Keywords:
