Forgotten War Hero Wilson Memorialized in Marion Cemetery
In Korea Wilson moved wounded to aid, braving enemy fire to reach a comrade. He died after returning to help, shot while shielding another. A Memorial Day 2008 tribute honors him at Rose Hill Cemetery in Marion, with later recognitions for regional Korean War veterans at VFW Post 1304 in 2010.
