I am not sure if that is the correct spelling of his name. He went through medical training with my father and went to Korea. He was possibly KIA in Korea in 1952. His name does not appear on any KIA rosters however. It did appear on a 1st MarDiv "honor roll" posted sometime in 1950 of which my father has carried since then. I am wondering if there was a mistake and Ted might still be living. My father has had survivors guilt since 1953 when he returned home and his buddy did not. I would like to close the loop on this issue for him as he is getting up in age. Any information at all would be helpful. Thanks Keywords:
