Stinger Gunner USMC

Combat Medic of the 40th ID, with bronze star and purple heart and one that belonged to a former neighbor of my grandfather. Harold Barry had served in WWII in the 5th AF. reenlisted during Korea and never returned. He was officially listed as DNB but according to town lore, the government never told the family how he died.

Named SSgt with IMAC Defense BN's. 3 campaign stars would likely suggest that he was at the Canal, Bougainville and possibly Guam?
