"Foreign Awards:
I saw your article regarding the U.S. Bronze Star for awarding to
Canadians.
During the Korean Conflict, in a place called the Kapyon Valley,
a company from the 2nd Batt PPCLI from Canada was left alone after the
British and American units retreated. Outnumbered 10-1, this unit held
off the Chinese and North Koreans, alone.
This was recognized by the President and others, The unit did
receive for their efforts the Presidential Unit Citation - and still
to now display it with pride!
Thank you
G. Hall"
