Comments: My name is also Benjamin, and I am looking for any
information on my father, if he was a part of the
38th Inf Reg. He had earned a Purple Heart in action
during the Korean War, and received a Medical
discharge soon after. He has since passed; 21 May
2010, Casper Wyoming. Like many of the men that came
back, he said little of his experiance in country. I
had served in Ouijongbu from 94-95 and was proud to
wear the IndianHead and say Second to None.
I am again wearing the patch, but this time on my
right shoulder. I am a member of the NY National
Guard with the 27th B.S.T.B. out of Syracuse, oddly
enough where the 38th was organized in 1917. My unit
flys the RQ-7B Shaddow UAV, for the 3rd Brigade, 2nd
I.D. Again I'm saying Second to None to officers of
the 82nd and gladly pi$$ing them off!
As a child I recall a cigar box that had his uniform
items; cloth rank that was sewed on his uniform
sleave, Combat Infantry Badge (CIB), fortegerre, and
his Class A or B plastic name tag for the shirt or
jacket. I also recall several ribbons; Purple and
White (Purple Heart), an evenly striped blue and
white (UN), another blue and white ribbon (also UN),
and the Pres. Unit Citation with the Yin and Yang in
the center. The Unit Crest was also in there, and
that is where I am having the most trouble with. My
recolections are getting pretty vague.
I was able to get a replacement Purple Heart thru
proper channels, and have his records reflect this.
With the infamous Fire at Indianapolis back in
the '70s, there is nothing to go on that was
important to our Korean War Heros.
Is there anyone that can help me solve this puzzle?

due to death and wounding of the officers, etc., he

platoon sergeant, became engaged in hostile fire with
the Regular Troops of the NKA. One of his men, Cpl
Symmes became separated from the rest and was pinned
down. Symmes was severely injured and was calling
for help. Without regard for his own safety, Unrue
ran approximately seventy-five yards under enemy fire
to bring Symmes back to safety and then assisted the
medical team to stop the bleeding in his left leg,
which was later amputated. With only seven men left
who could bear their weapons, Sgt Unrue led the
attack to repel/and/or wound or kill thirty five to
forty of the enemy. He himself was knocked to the
ground on three or four instances in hand to hand
combat, but was able to continue...'
I did not find this letter from Capt. Bowen until my

of Col. Mergens. Bronze Star awarded.

Comments: Looking for anyone who might have known PFC George "Glenn" Booker from Tennessee. I am his neice, my mother was 2 when he was there and is looking to learn more. He was a member of the 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. He was taken Prisoner of War while fighting on May 18, 1951 and died a prisoner on Jan. 27, 1952 according to records. Have received numerous medals and a letter stating that he had went back several times to help other soldiers and the last time he never came out. Very little information looking for anyone that could help.
