Billy Warner- POW during Chosin

Comments: My father, SGT Billy M. Warner, was taken POW during Nov. at the Chosin Resivor Battle. He never talked about this until close to his death, and then he let me know that he would like to receive the POW medal. We cannot document this since I am told his records were burned in the fire that destroyed several years. There was another Marine take POW at the same time and location. If anyone knew my father during that time - or the man with him - please contact me.

All he has really told me is that he and a buddy were wounded when two grenades were thrown at them and they could only grab one of them to throw back. He has also said that he loved the sound of P-51s flying overhead, "that's a nice sound". My uncle Kenny is a wonderful man, he is soft spoken and always very kind, He is the nicest man that I have ever known. We learned that he is dying of cancer about 3 weeks ago (July 2004). The reason I am posting this is so anyone who may have known Kenny that might want to see him while he is still with us can contact me via email. Kenny has made arrangments to be buried at Fort Snelling National Cemetary in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
