VETERANS REMEMBER

Korean War  

Gene Bleuer
Gene Bleuer was an infantry platoon sergeant with the 5th Regimental Combat Team during the Korean War. He was captured by the Chinese in December 1952 and spent the next several months in a Chinese POW camp until a failed escape attempt and injury led to his being exchanged for sick and injured Chinese troops as part of the Operation Little Switch.
