101 + 2 Casualties of H-3-5

(The 101 were obtained 5/11/2005 from <http://www.abmc.gov>, the site of the American Battle Monuments Commission. One has to pull up the unit by plugging in "H co 3 bn 5 mar." The page from which this list was copied has active links to a brief service record of each individual. The two additional deaths [marked with an *] were recorded on the Korean War Page.) In this file I have re-ordered the names so that the deaths are chronological.

Harold Riker was awarded:

1. Purple Heart

2. Combat Action Ribbon

3. Korean Service Medal

4. United Nations Service Medal

5. National Defense Service Medal

6. Korean War Service Medal
