Lt Col John Nevin Rentz Sr was my birth father. He was awarded the Bronze Star for his heroic and exemplary service in Korea. 
Sadly, He passed away from a heart attack on Nov 6, 1976. He is buried in Baltimore National Cemetery. He wrote several published historical accounts of Marine battles in the South Pacific in the Solomon Islands Attached is his newspaper obituary and article about his military service. 
May he rest in divine peace+
