Comments: I started a search in 1996 for the men who were with me on Bunker Hill. I have found six and would like to locate others, namely....Sheldon SIEGEL....Romey A.TAYLOR....Robert G. Snook.... I was recommended for the Silver Star for actions that took place December 26, 1952 and the Navy Cross for actions that took place January 14, 1953. Both decorations were sent me in the mail receintly and were downgraded to the Bronze Star and Silver Star....I believe these men can shed some light on the two decorations....I have contested this matter with the Navy Board of Corrections.
