REMEMBER…….

My Dad- he volunteered about a week after he heard about the Chosin Reservoir- he was on a student exemption and he volunteered because he thought they needed him. He served honorably and lived to a ripe old age. Became a police chaplain and had a military and police honor guard at his funeral.

Was just home in Marshalltown for my uncles funeral, he survived Chosin and was Chesty Pullers RTO during the battle

Only medal I know about is the Purple Heart 

He passed away in Florida & was cremated, my first funeral where the deceased was cremated 

He was the chaplain at his Marine Corps league in Florida, ya that’s the Rumpster standing behind him…..z
