Chinese assaults on American units across the Imjin River were numerous and sustained. Kinard and I-Company led troops on a daring mission to cross the Imjin under cover of darkness to take enemy prisoners. Sustaining 14 KIAs\, a heavy fog allowed them to return across the Imjin. \nIn his own Chapter 215\, Kinard taught the Korean War to over 2\,000 students and teachers! Asked about these efforts\, he stated: “I took it to heart and was devoted to the cause. I worked every day\, making sure others knew what we did in Korea was good. I wanted our veterans to also understand that they saved an entire country and its people.” \nFull Bio > \n \nU.S. Veteran Honoree \n\n\n\nCharles Garrod \n\n\n\nSponsored by Yumi Hogan \n\n\n\nNominated by Dale Marlowe \n\n\n\nCharles Garrod has been instrumental for well over half a century in championing legislation\, memories\, community\, and care for Korean War veterans and their loved ones. \nMr. Garrod has personally documented\, collected\, and shared a host of historical items and memories to ensure the Korean War veterans are preserved through multiple venues\, media types\, events\, and mechanisms. \nFull Bio > \n \nU.S. Supporter Honoree \nKum Cha Bertling \nSponsored by Sunny K Park Family Foundation \nNominated by David Logan \nThrough KC’s love and gratitude for the Korean War Veterans\, she and her husband\, Sam\, have devoted their lives since 2006 to honoring them.
