So my dad, randomly Google his dad/my grandpa's name and found all this stuff. He said he didn't ever talk about it so he never knew. He passed away when I was about 1, So I never knew him so this is new to me and I thought I’d share. Also was in Vietnam but didn't find anything on that.

If I'm reading correctly, was he a POW beginning Sept 1, 1950 and liberated on Nov 27 that same year?

that's what it looked like to me also, but idk.

[The King]

If so, and especially if he went on to serve in Vietnam afterward, you've shown us a true American hero. Thanks for sharing that and thanks for the service of your late grandpa.

I would say after being wounded by a missle I would call it a career! Deserves a BMF wallet for sure.
