Someone sent us their work on this fellow, Darrel Zimmerman<\/a>, who claimed to be a combat veteran and a POW of the Korean War.<\/p>\n

He joined the Army right after the Second World War on November 5th, 1945 and he trained as an auto mechanic. He was discharged three years later;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

He immediately reenlisted and when the Korean War started in 1950, he was stationed in Camp Roberts, California as a stock clerk. The following year, he went AWOL and got tossed into a confinement facility;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The following year, he went to Japan, as close as he got to the Korean War;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

He completed his term of service and immediately reenlisted again;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Then, as a supply clerk, in 1962, he was caught stealing stuff from the Army, court martialed, imprisoned for 6 months and discharged;<\/p>\n

This is what his records say he earned in the way of awards;<\/p>\n

Compare those with what he’s wearing in the picture above. I guess that he figures the time he spent in a confinement facility in California during the Korean War qualifies him as a POW of the Korean War.<\/p>\n

Everyone wants to wear jump wings, but no one wants to lug the parachute to the turn-in point on the drop zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
