Korean War veteran was stationed along the 38th parallel

officers and the comrnunications gear. We kept an oDen

hours a day."
John went on to relate how
he was assigned communications
_dufy that evening
from 7-9 p.m. After a ouiei
shift, his
reDlacement
arrived; John brieibd him on
the- equipment operations,
and returned to his foxhole
20 feet away. Ten minutes
later all hell broke loose.
"We started to get shelled
with mortars a-nd larger
artillery" said John. ,.ThEre
was a direct hit on the teot;
two soldier$ were killed
instantly, my replacement,
Parker, and one officer. The
minute the tont was shelled
1!e cgmpany commander,
Mlrphy, ran to my foxhole,
which was dug out for two,
and stayed there while the
shelling took place for
hours

March 2012
R",
Thank you for sending us information for enrollment on the Roll of Honor at the National
Purple Heart Hall of Honor. We truly appreciate your interest and support in helping us
further our mission to collect, preserve and share the records of all Purple Heart recipients.
We are pleased and honored.to let you know that the enrollment process is compbtb.
Visitors to the Hall may view the profile at one of our computer kiosks. An abbreviated
version of the profile may also be viewed on our website at: www.thepurpleheart.com .
So far, more than 173,000 recipients have been enrolled. While this is a significant
number,
it.is small compared to the estimated 1.8 million Purple Hearts that have been awarded
since 1932.
As a New York State facility, administered by the Palisades lnterstate park Commission,
we
99 n?t automatically receive documentation about Purple Heart recipients, We rely on
friends,.family and recipients to share their information with us so that we may honor them
and include them on the Roll of Honor. We would be most appreciative or youi sufport
and
assistanee in helping us spread the word about the National iiurple Heart Hall of Fionor
and
encourage recipients and/or their relatives to share their stories with us.
Thank you for hetping us to honor all purple Heart recipients.
Sincerely,
En「 oliment staff
The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor
EDITOR'S NOTE:
As part of history for the Korean War,
every Purple Heart Recipient should
enroll! For the deceased, relatives or
friends should call or fax info.
On the front cover it says g4g KlA, 3,
188 WlA. I know my three are not
included in that number, and many men
I knew were wounded, sent to the Aid
Station only to have the doctor say it will
eventually work it's way out, were not
counted as WIA!

Command Reports, Letters of Commendation from all Commanders of units
attached to and far more historical materialthan can be stated in this space,
proves beyond any doubt, the 5th Regimental Combat Team and it's attached
units, were the most superb fighting unit of the Korean War!
ln the length of time in battle (35 months) to guarding POWs (two months),
a battle itself! Yes, you are truly the stars of the Korean War!
Receiving great respect from the United States Marines!
And even the enemy from the beginning, when you broke out of the
Puson Perimeter and destroyed the crack 3rd Division of the NKPA,
to Outpost Harry and the war's end! Need more be said?
