Comments: My name is Mitchel Libman and I have been fighting to get Pfc Leonard Kravitz the Medal Of Honor he deserves for saving the lives of rwo platoons of his comrades that were being over run by hordes of Chinese troops. He refused to leave the machine gun he had taken over when the machinegunner was wounded. The troops were ordered to retreat. They screamed for him to grab his weapon and join them. He screamed back at them to "get the hell out of there while they can". They could hear his weapon firing for a long time after they reached safety. They heard the explosions of many grenades and then silence. When they went for him the nexr morning, they found him lying over his weapon. There were only six bullets left in his gun. He was mortally wounded. He was nominated for the Medal Of Honor for that action but it was downgraded to the Distinguished Service Cross at the Pentagon. I have been fighting to get Pfc Kravitz the medal he really earned for almost 50 years, I do believe this is the year he will get it. If there is anyone out there who was part of that group please try to reach Mitchel Libman through the Korean War Project. Thank you.

Company L Pal's

Comments: My father was Francis L. Noyes from Byron, Illinois. He was a member of the 5th RCT Co L. My dad never spoke much about his service, until I asked him to speak to my history class 12 years ago. He spoke about things and people my family had never heard of before. He specifically cried about the death of his good friend Ray Moccio. He said to me afterward he wanted to find Ray's grave. However, my dad passed away six years ago without seeing it. I don't think he really wanted to though.

I did find Ray's grave in Hillside, Illinois and his brother Frank who lives in Melrose Park, Illinois. We met one year ago after speaking for the first time on Veteran's Day 2003. There are people that my dad, Fran Noyes, and Frank's brother, Ray Moccio served with and would like to meet or know more about. If you know anything regarding these individuals, I would greatly appreciate you contacting me. They are:

John Sylowicz, Chicago, Illinois Eugene(?) Lowery, Billings, Montana George Tallman, (died 8-15-52), New Jersey

These five men all served together. Noyes and Lowery were with Tallman and Moccio when they were killed. Sylowicz went to boot camp and overseas with Noyes and Moccio. If you have any information it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Doug Noyes
