Show Salt Lake Tribune Jany 21 1952. bitter Mother Sends Back Sons Medal. SPRINGFIELD, Colo, Jan. 30. The widowed mother of a soldier killed in Korea said Wednesday she has received no answer to a letter she sent to President Harry S Truman in returning the purple heart medal awarded her son. Mrs. Edith Rosengrant said she wrote to the President Jan 23 saying I hope all mothers and fathers will send back their scrolls and medals till we get as brave men in Washington as we have in Korea. Pfc. Dick Rosengrant was killed near Sinchon last Aug 10 while serving with the Seventh Cavalry. Mrs. Rosengrant has three other son and two daughters but only her youngest son Dale 14 still lives with her in this southeastern Colorado dry land farming community. If Dick had died in a real war defending his country, fighting for what he thought was right it would have been easier to take. Mrs. Rosengrant said. But why shouldnt I be bitter when he was told to go fight a war, and then coward in Washington let him fight only half a war because theyre afraid of the Russians? The purple heart was awarded to PFC Rosengrant posthumously. Mrs. Rosengrant posthumously. Mrs. Rosengrant said her letter to the President said in part. Soldiers need help when they are fighting, not medals and scrolls after they are dead. I am sending back to you my boys medal and scroll as not being fit from you. You said my boy died for freedom. My boy did fight for freedom but he died because you and your man Acheson were afraid of the Russians and would not help him fight. My boy was not afraid. Mothers and fathers in America are not afraid. Our boys should not have to fight under a chief commander who is afraid. |
