War Baby with an unbeatable record and a brave Marine
A young U.S. Marine journalist Cory Landon from MWindg High School pursued combat reporting in Korea. He wrote a story under fire before he was killed as his unit clashed with T-34 tanks and enemy positions. Surviving comrades turned in scraps of his note paper and his tale of the 2nd Squad, 2nd Section of the 75mm A T Company. The rifleman Gunner Walker earned the Bronze Star for a direct hit on a T-34 tank through smoke. The piece ends with the line that the baby has a record to keep.
