U S Drops Its Claim on Hero Reenlistment Bonus
Former Army Sgt Alfred Emanuel Smith, decorated Korean War veteran, will not repay $405.14 from a $55 weekly check after the government dropped its civil claim. Assistant U.S. Attorney Macdougal Rice cited a 1959 comptroller general ruling. Smith, a Falls Church, Virginia resident and former tanker, earned Silver and Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart in Korea before reenlisting in 1954 and later being honorably discharged. The Army had demanded repayment after discovering an outstanding reenlistment bonus.
