MacArthur Honor Guards Who Died in Korea and Vietnam
Thirty former Honor Guards paid the ultimate price in the Korean War. Two more died in Vietnam. Four of our comrades died while in North Korean Prisoner of War camps.
Some of you may have known these guys while we were in Tokyo or even while serving with them in Korea or Vietnam. Bless ‘em!
