Cherokee mother pleads to pull son from Korea war
In Inglewood California a Cherokee mother, Mrs Glen B Peterson, asks Marine Commandant Clifton Cates to return her sole surviving son, Technical Sergeant Robert J Ward, 24, to combat in Korea. Ward, after surviving Inchon and Iwo Jima, pleaded in a letter that he be freed to fight, expressing pride in his Cherokee heritage and love for his family. He has already endured two losses, his brothers Frank and Ernest Ward, killed in World War II and on Iwo Jima. Ward’s appeal follows orders to move him to a rear area in Japan, which he intercepted and carried. He later wrote from his barracks asking release to rejoin his unit. He emphasized duty to his platoon and people.
