As we speak we hear our first fight story from a Korean Conflict veteran, Joseph Mills Clever. Joe was injured whereas within the entrance strains in 1951 as an infantryman engaged in preventing that, to this present day (and understandably), has not left him.
When Joe was medevaced out of the fight zone he additionally had frostbite in each ft. He was capable of recuperate solely to be despatched again to Korea.
Whereas this preventing passed off 70 years in the past, it’s superb how so many components of the veteran expertise don’t change from getting letters out of your spouse, to sneaking off base within the trunk of a automotive, to freezing exterior within the chilly, to humping a large radio and weapon, and a lot extra.
Joe is a part of the silent era of warriors who, for almost all of his life, didn’t share these moments of horror along with his household and, as an alternative, stored the bottled inside.
At 94 years previous, he agreed to sit down down and share these with us. His spouse, Joice, was within the room for our interview and skilled Joe’s conflict by way of letters and telegrams after which, like many army spouses, was the one who supported Joe by way of the years of nightmares and ache that include seeing fight firsthand.
This was an honor for me and reminder of this conflict that got here so shut on the heels of WWII however with a really completely different expertise for individuals who fought in it (the conflict was not even acknowledged as a conflict for years).
With that, please take pleasure in this little bit of historical past from somebody who lived it.
