I have dicovered an award presented to Col. Bowie by Gen. Yong Bae Kim, Chief of Staff;ROK Army, and I wish to have my 12-year old son present it to the Smithsonian Museum of History, so he might gain a better appreciation for his freedom. I need any proof I can muster, from documents to photos, and especially eyewitness accounts. Any help, or suggestions? My son will be reading any replies.

I discovered an award presented to Col. Bowie from Gen. Yong Bae Kim, Chief of Staff;ROK Army for survival on the battlefield, and I wish to have my 12-year old son present it to the Smithsonian Museum of history, so he may gain a depth of appreciation for the price of his freedom. I need any proof I can muster to verify it's authenticity, from documents to photos, and especially eyewitness accounts. Col. Bowie is confirmed as a direct relative of Jim Bowie, the knife smith. Any help, or suggestions? My son will be reading any replies.
