Comments: Master Sgt. Charles "Mickey" Burton was killed in action on Heartbreak Ridge, Korea on 1 Nov 1952.
He was serving with the 160th Inf. Reg. of the 40th Inf. Division. I don't know what Company he was in. His daughter, Bonnie, was six years old at Sgt. Burton's death in 1952, and was presented his Silver Star Medal, posthumously on 3 July 1953 at the Statue of Liberty, by Lt. General Withers Burress, Commander of the 1st Army.
Bonnie is presently living in the Hot Springs, Arkansas area, and would like very much to make contact with any person that knew her Dad in Korea. I have her phone number, and will be glad to forward any comments from anybody that might have known her Dad, Sgt. Burton.

Comments: I am searching for any Korean Veteran that served on Heartbreak Ridge during the month of Oct 1952.
Master Sgt. Charles Burton was killed in action on Hearbreak Ridge on Oct 28, 1952. He was serving with the 160th Infantry, 40th Division, but do not know what Company he was in at the time of his death.
Sgt Burton's Silver Star was presented posthumously to his little, six year old daughter, Bonnie Burton, 2 July 1953 at the Statue of Liberty on Bedloes Island, by Lt. Gen Withers Burress, Commander of the 1st Army.
Sgt Burton was born and raised in the Bronx, NYC and served in both the Pacific and European Theaters during World War II. Was an Army ranger and fought with both the 513th and 517th Parachute Infantry Regiments. He reinlisted in 1950 for the Korean War, but was killed on Hearbreak Ridge on Oct 28, 1952. He was thirty-five years old.
He daughter, Bonnie, who was presented his Silver Star and several other medals on 2 July 1953 at the Statue of Liberty, is living here in Hot Springs, Arkansas and is a good friend of my wife and I. Bonnie would like very much to make contact with anybody that knew her father, Sgt. Charles Burton, when he was killed in action on Heartbreak Ridge in Korea. She always wears his Silver Star around her neck on Veterans Day and Memorial Day every year, and misses the Dad she never knew after she was six years old.
If you knew Sgt. Burton, and call or contact me, I will put you in touch with Bonnie, who would dearly love to talk to you!
