About the Casualties
- Alexander, 1Lt. Elmer - "First Lt. Elmer Alexander,
25, U. S. Air Force, was killed in an airplane crash February 8,
1959 in Korea, according to a telegram received Sunday by his
wife, Mrs. Imogene O Connell Alexander, 2612 17th Ave.,
Gulfport, Mississippi. Lieutenant Alexander, born in Long Beach
June 19, 1932, had been in service seven and a half years and
had served in Korea for 14 months. He was scheduled to return to
the United States in just 27 days. Lieutenant Alexander received
his pilot's training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and Ft. Rucker,
Alabama. He had trained and served at numerous other posts
during his service career before going to Korea. Lieutenant
Alexander, son of Mrs. Norene Alexander, Long Beach, and the
late John Alexander, was a graduate of Long Beach High School
where he was a member of the football team. Other than his wife
and mother, he is survived by two daughters, Carla and Teri
Alexander, Gulfport, and three brothers, Mott, Larry and Albert
Alexander, all of Long Beach. Funeral arrangements are
incomplete, but the body will be returned to the united States
and burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery in Gulfport."
- Alvarez, SFC David Lee - Born in 1933, SFC Alvarez
died January 13, 1971, and is buried in Santa Maria Cemetery,

- Alves, Capt. Kenneth - Died in Korea August 04, 1963.
He was an Air Medal recipient:
Captain Kenneth J. Alves, Armor, United States Army, a member of
the Aviation Section, Detachment L (Provisional), United States
Army Advisory Group to Korea, distinguished himself by heroism
while participating in aerial flight near Wonju, Korea, on 17
July 1953. As pilot of an OH-23D helicopter, Captain Alves
demonstrated outstanding flying ability, perseverance, and sound
judgment in his voluntary efforts to rescue thirty Korean women
and children from a small island in the Somgang River which was
swollen by the torrential rains of Typhoon Wendy. With complete
disregard for his own personal safety, and despite the darkness,
heavy rainfall, and hazardous flying conditions, he quickly
located the stranded people and effectively completed seven
lifts from the island threatened by inundation. Captain Alves'
exceptional flying skill and heroic action during this mercy
mission reflect distinct credit upon himself and the military
service. (This award supersedes award of the Army Commendation
