Homer Parks Recommended for Legion of Merit
Staff Sergeant Homer Parks and four others are recommended for the Legion of Merit for leading a China Burma India Theatre construction effort at Camp Chaffee Arkansas. He supervised 17 enlisted men who built an open wire line from Wanting to Yunnanyi China, teaching coolies American standards, while using 10 trucks to perform work that normally required more men and equipment. The unit labored 16 to 20 hours daily, improvised clothing from scraps, and maintained strict sanitary rules to keep all workers healthy. They completed 9821 poles and 2067 miles of wire in four months, and Parks’ leadership unified the team and Chinese laborers into a highly effective force. Parks is the son of Mrs. Emma P. Talley of Tishomingo Oklahoma.
