    Medal of Honor Recipients Korean War *ABRELL, CHARLES G. Rank and organization: Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps, Company E, 2d Battalion, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division (Rein.). Place and date: Hangnyong, Korea, 10 June 1951. Entered service at: Terre Haute, Ind. Born: 12 August 1931, Terre Haute, Ind. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a fire team leader in Company E, in action against enemy aggressor forces. While advancing with his platoon in an attack against well- concealed and heavily fortified enemy hill positions, Cpl. Abrell voluntarily rushed forward through the assaulting squad which was pinned down by a hail of intense and accurate automatic-weapons fire from a hostile bunker situated on commanding ground. Although previously wounded by enemy hand grenade fragments, he proceeded to carry out a bold, single-handed attack against the bunker, exhorting his comrades to follow him. Sustaining 2 additional wounds as he stormed toward the emplacement, he resolutely pulled the pin from a grenade clutched in his hand and hurled himself bodily into the bunker with the live missile still in his grasp. Fatally wounded in the resulting explosion which killed the entire enemy guncrew within the stronghold, Cpl. Abrell, by his valiant spirit of self- sacrifice in the face of certain death, served to inspire all his comrades and contributed directly to the success of his platoon in attaining its objective. His superb courage and heroic initiative sustain and enhance the highest traditions of the U.S.

  • The Story Behind the Monument President’S Message by Richard B
    First Quarter 2017 Volume 11 Number 1 The Story Behind the Monument President’s Message By Richard B. Rothwell and Robin L. Hutton Richard B. Rothwell Happy New Year! I hope that you and your families enjoyed the holiday season and extend my sincere wishes for good health and prosperity in the new year. As we begin 2017, we’re thankful for the collective success we enjoyed in 2016. Recapping our major accomplishment, on Oct. 26, 2016, over 500 guests watched and applauded as three former active duty Marines and one daughter of a Marine, all of whom had served with Reckless in Korea or Camp Pendleton, and four active duty Marines removed the tarp covering the SSgt Reckless monument, sixty- four years to the day after she joined the Marine Corps. Mission accomplished! The protracted project was finally finished. For those not able to attend the dedication, this edition of the Groundbreaker brings it to you in words and pictures.
