Hi!
I found this article, from a newspaper:

Sgt. Nils V. Ingemansson, attached to Fourth Recruit Training Battalion
here at the Depot, will receive the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism
while serving as a squad leader with the Fifth Marines, 1st Marine
Division, in Korea on September 6 and 7, 1952.

His citation reads, in part, as follows: "When his unit was attacked by
numerically superior hostile forces while defending a combat outpost
well in advance of the main line of resistance. Sgt. Ingemansson bravely
took up a position on top of a bunker in the face of an intense hostile
artillery and mortar barrage and delivered devastating fire upon the
attackers to prevent the enemy from penetrating his sector of the
perimeter, personally killing 15 of the enemy with rifle fire and
dispersing many others with  hand grenades. Sergeant Ingemansson was
directly instrumental in the successful defense of the entire position."
and it showed to be my grandmother's brother.

Is this correct?

thank you for your timely reply. i spoke to my dad and unfortunatly
he does not remember the unit. he called a few remaining buddies 
and they were not too much help either. but one of them who was
in the 7th seems to think he was in the 5th and not the 7th. 

Hopefully something will come up soon, as pop has been reuniting himself
with as many ''old soldiers'' as he can find. also i failed to give you
my fathers phone number, (718) 381-4392.

Thanks again, hope to hear some news soon.

I am searching for anybody who might have known, or have any information
on Dorin Samuel Stafford, my father, who was listed as missing in action
in Korea on October 27, 1950.  He was a Navy Corpsman, assigned to a
Marine Division in "Kojo" area at the time.  I believe it was the 1st
Marine division, 5th Marine Regiment that he was assigned to.

He received the Silver Star for his actions in Korea.  Would appreciate
hearing from anybody that might have known him and/or have any
information about him.
