Merritt L. Pratt of Langlade, Wisconsin” I was born October 1, 1950, and consequently never knew my father. My mother, who never remarried and remained a Silver Star Widow since his death in 1950, passed away just this last June. I know my father had done well in World War II.
“In Korea November 2, 1950 however, he stayed behind to secure a position, allowing for evacuation of troops. Beyond that, what records I can find are sketchy at best. His remains were never found, but a marker was placed in Arlington National Cemetery. He is also listed with the Korean War Organization for repatriation and they are now requesting DNA testing from his sister, Mrs. Myrle Madole who is still living in Libertyville, Illinois. He is being honored at the Millennium Veterans Memorial, to be completed for Memorial Day this year.
