131-134

RADMALL, RUEBEN
TWELVES, ROLAND
ZABRISKIE, WALTER
BLISS, C. BRUCE

You might have noticed by now that I'm not running these names alphabetically or chronologically. I'm running them as they are on the wall in Memorial Hall at BYU. They're listed alphabetically and grouped by the conflict that they fought in. Bruce Bliss starts a new conflict- the Korean War. Caught between WWII and the war in Vietnam, the Korean War isn't talked about very much. This is also due to the embarrassing defeats we suffered there in our military campaign. The U.S suffered 33,686 deaths overall, with 10 of those being students from Brigham Young University. I'll run their names next, and try to tell their stories in a way that does them justice.
