Someone sent us a link to an article<\/a> about Sergeant Wallace Dawson and his long-overdue homecoming – sixty-four years after his capture by enemy troops. Sergeant Dawson died of malnutrition in June of 1951, only a few months after his capture when Company L, 3rd Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division was over run by Chinese forces at Sang-sok, South Korea;<\/p>\n

The community filed the streets to honor the fallen soldier. The Patriot Guard Riders led the procession along with members of the military. Students from San Marcos High School stood along a fence saluting the fallen soldier.<\/p>\n

Wallace’s twin brother Warren said it was a homecoming to remember.<\/p>\n

“Driving over here the roads were full of people and I was like holy cow! And then driving by the school all the students were there waving their flags. That was amazing. The turnout and the people that really care it was just tremendous to me.,” said Dawson.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
