Assistance for a writer

[Walt's Daughter]

I just received this today and upon request am placing this letter here. Thanks to all for your help.

comments: I am writing a novel about a WW2 vet who serves in Korea as officer, as well. I want people to proof-read my chapters on both European theatre of WW2, and Korea for accuracy and/or credibility (realism), and hopefully lead me to some vets who can remember and add some "color". Can you put this request on your bulletin board and ask vets to contact me? Thanks. If you especially can put me in touch with Ray Gonzales, I'd appreciate it.

 

I got this mail:

 

Hi Fred,

I see what you need. I will send you a story of a friend of mine. He was in WW2 and Korea. He was put in for Medal of Honor but along the line someone cut it down to Silver star. I think because he is Mexican...
