The attached photo shows my son-in-law's grandfather, Samuel Waldroup, receiving the Purple Heart in Korea. His information indicates that is that this is Brigadier General Puller. Can anyone confirm this?
I thought the photo was interesting enough to put out in the newsletter to see
(a) if anyone recognizes the nurse
(b) if anyone knew Pvt. Waldroup (we actually don't know his rank at the time; he retired as a Gunny; he has passed on) and
(c) to see if anyone can explain why, while the man's legs are underneath the blankets of the bed, a pair of trousers has been strategically draped over the blanket to give the impression to the casual glance that he's wearing them? (Mystery solved. It's a bath robe, not trousers.)
