that Hart's wound was fatal; he was included in a memorial service held in
the field. But Hart is not listed as KIA in any place I have looked, and the

Comments: I'm looking for anyone able to provide information on PFC Jerome Mangner. He is still listed as MIA from 26 Mar 53. I presume he was at Outpost Vegas but am unsure.
This is my first post on any website so this is very preliminary research. I'm currently a Lt Col in the AF and my middle name is Jerome (after him), so I feel a special tie to my late uncle.
Thanks for any help I can receive.
