TONY DESMOND wrote on December 23, 2007 CITY AND STATE: SHARON SPRINGS NY UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN 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.

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. From the Victorious Life by Charles Trumbull. Keywords: Corp. Wm. Shurts The Singing Marine
