Still Glad To Be Out Of Korea Frostbitten Vet Loses Feet
Private Hubert Reeves, a 19 year old from Joliet Indiana, underwent a very successful amputation of both feet at Percy Jones Hospital after frostbite suffered on a Korean battlefield. Doctors say the condition of his hands is improving but expect removal of remaining fingers as needed. Reeves will learn to walk on artificial feet, with potential future plastic surgery to restore grip. His parents pray and recall his determination to endure to get out of Korea.
