I am searching for anyone who served or knew anything about my uncle, Myrl E. Boys, who was a First Lieutenant and Executive Officer of I-3-5, 1st Marine Division at Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War. To give you a brief history about my uncle, he was from Chilo, Ohio, a small town along the banks of the Ohio river in southwestern Ohio.
He served during WWII at Iwo Jima where he received the Bronze Star. He also served at Saipan, where he was awarded the Purple Heart and the Presidential Unit Citation with 4 bronze stars.
During the Korean War, he served in G-3-5 and also I-3-5 during the battle at Chosin Reservoir as a First Lieutanant and Executive Officer. He was awarded the Gold Star in lieu of a second Purple Heart for wounds received at Chosin. His CO in I-3-5 was Captain Harold G. Schrier, who led the 40 man patrol up Mt. Suribachi at Iwo Jima to raise the first flag.
Myrl died in 1956 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
