Another of “AMERICA’s Forgotten”of the KOREAN WAR receives his last Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Orders (Sat Sept 7th) from our Supreme Commander above.

It was just a year ago, we were sending Bornday Wishes to US Army Combat veteran Mr. Willie Sneed of Mebane, NC.  He had been in-country (ROK) and participated in battle campaigns such as Heartbreak Ridge-Hill #931 & Bloody Ridge.  Every warrior partly returns home-stateside, wounded leaving suppressed memories of the battlefield behind.  We are providing the family’s announcement below.   

With all our deepest and heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, daughter and son-in-law for their great loss.

Rest In Peace our Brother Warrior!   Slow-hand Salute.   Semper Fi …til valHalla!  .
