Delta-Fox Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted June 22, 2015 Hi Ed, Thank you very much! I would like to research on him but I have no clue where and how to start. Any suggestions? Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovmilinsig Posted June 23, 2015 Share #6 Posted June 23, 2015 Andrew, Wish I could help you, but I've never researched anyone before. I know Forum members do it all the time and the USMF also has the Individual / Unit Research section. Hope I've helped. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinO Posted June 23, 2015 Share #8 Posted June 23, 2015 He was in the 9th Infantry, Company G and received his Bronze Star on General Order 120 of 1952. This site is a wealth of knowledge: http://www.koreanwar.org/html/2011_2id_go_award_individual.html?key_2id=9884 I would next look at the war diary of the 9th infantry, to see what they were doing on the date given in his citation: http://www.koreanwar.org/html/2011_2id_nara_records.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
