Here is my Dad in Korea in 1951. My Dad and one other Solider where the only ones out of 10 man group that survived a mortar attack. Still carries shrapnel all up and down his spine and is 85 years old. He is on the far right. He told me that he was ordered to dig in and when the mortars hit his hole was only deep enough to stick his head in it so that's all he could do but that was enough. Spent several months recuperating and returned to duty.
