He was with the American forces. Was a prisoner of war for 91 days in North Korea, and buried alive for 3 days when a bunker collapsed. He was a member of the KWVA in our local area so I will also ask them for advice. None of them has been back to visit though many would like to.

Even though he suffered so much while in Korea, he always spoke highly of the people that he met. He has received several medals from South Korean officials over the past few years and been thanked numerous times. He was moved by the appreciation he received.

We hoped to go together to South Korea, but he had a hemorrhage last March and passed away in June. So I will go for him. I will be there the last week of October.
