General Richard S. Whitcomb's Golden Legacy: Part 1
Recently, General Richard S. Whitcomb was posthumously awarded the Mugunghwa Medal - Korea's highest Order of Civil Merit - in honor of his philanthropic efforts on the peninsula. His role in Busan during the Korean War is well known but when the war ended his service to Korea did not cease. After retiring from the military in 1954, Whitcomb “devoted his life to helping war orphans and excavating the remains of U.S. soldiers.”
