Pasadena Captain One of Few Honor Medal Won by Live Korea Hero
Pasadena native Capt. Raymond Harvey of the Army Infantry earned the Medal of Honor for gallantry in Korea. He led his unit under heavy fire near Taemidong, single handedly disabled enemy positions, and despite a bullet through the lung, directed the assault before evacuation. Harvey, a World War II veteran, recalled the action with humor and humility while awaiting decoration by President Truman on July 2. He returned to Pasadena after months in Japan and hopes to resume command soon.
