For those who don't know, Maury served in the Korean War with the United 
Nations Partisan Infantry, Korea, 8240th AU.  When the war ended and the 
8240th disbanded, he was transferred to intelligence operations with duty 
as an agent dispatcher/retriever.  In other words, he inserted agents into 
North Korea and later retrieved the same agent(s) when it was time for them 
to come out.  Most of the time inserting agents was fairly routine but 
retrieval was always an adventure since often the agent, or agents, had 
been caught and the bad guys were waiting. Made for some interesting times.
