weapons/2nd Bat./5th Mar. Reg. David V. LaBrie

Comments: I am a son of David V. LaBrie who was section leader of a machine gun platoon(50 cal.), weapons company, 2nd Bat., 5th Marine Reg. He was involved in the fighting for Vegas, Reno, and Carson Hills. He was wounded and received the Purple Heart. He is alive and well today but his memory is going. I am becoming interested in his war history and he and I would be happy if I found some guys he used to serve with him. I found some other names at this site that I thought he might remember but he doesn't recognize any. Maybe some of you remember him. He is from Vermont and went to boot camp at Paris Island. Does anyone know of a regimental history available or roster info? Thanks.

Dad- Donald T. Skelton 2/5 Easy Co.

Comments: Looking for any info about my Dad, (passed away Oct 6, 2006)Donald T.Skelton. Never spoke about Korea and I understand why. Actualy found a couple of good books on the time he was in Korea. I used to ask him about Korea and his medals. Only said that, "he lost a lot of good friends" and that, "medals were for Heros and he was not a Hero." He was our Hero though. He was assumed KIA at one point, but was able to get back to MLI. Also offered contract by Brooklyn Dodgers which he turned down so he could serve in the Marines. Hope this might help you in remebering my Dad. Thank You Brian

Corporal Richard A Buttery

Comments: Sharon Springs NY American Legion Post 1269 has undertaken a project to erect a memorial to Corporal Richard A Buttery USMC KIA Yanggu Korea on June 3, 1951. Corporal Buttery was a 1947 graduate of SSCS and the only serviceman from Sharon to die in Korea. His mother always wished to see a monument in his honor in front of the school. Sadly she died last year at the age of 106 without it ever being placed. Attempting to contact anyone who served with Cpl. Buttery. Additionally we will be honoring 4 servicemen from Sharon who died in WWII. We are also attempting to raise funds. Thank you for any info.

Corp. William Shurts

Comments: Comments: I have a book with the following information on Corporal William Shurts.........

THE SINGING MARINE

Corporal William Shurts, 21 of F. Company, 5th Marine Regiment, was hit by a sniper's bullet on a Korean hill. He died the next day. His inspirational singing brought cheer and courage to the trenches. His comrades described him as the "man who brought God to the front lines!" His favorite song was: "The Old Rugged Cross." How this song enheartened the men in the foxholes! Often, they would join with Corporal Shurts on the chorus. Passing from man to man, William spoke quietly to them of faith in God. "After he talked to us," a comrade wrote, "the dark foiled utterly. But for sinners he has a Gospel.
