As a young Infantry and Intelligence officer, Hurt served in the 173rd Airborne Brigade and Special Forces in Vietnam. This experience at a young age served as a foundation for a lifetime of service to our nation in many forms. Hurt would eventually become Sen. Sam Nunn’s Chief of Staff until the senator’s retirement in 1997. He then joined forces with another of Sen. Nunn’s key partners, COL (Ret) Frank Norton, who was the lead staff per- son for Sen. Nunn in his role as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Together they created the formidable Hurt, Norton and Associates consulting firm in Washington. In 2003, upon learning of the fledgling efforts to build a new National Infantry Museum, they offered to assist at the Congressional level. It is not an overstatement to say that without their expertise and experience the museum may never have come to fruition. They pursued this endeavor un- like any other that their firm has so successfully supported, largely because they both wore the Combat Infantryman’s badge. The project was personal and something that they would never let fail. Tragically Frank Norton died in 2009, only a few weeks after the museum opened. Bob poured much of his grief on the loss of his friend and partner into doubling down on his efforts to make sure the NIM would thrive.

    THE QUIET WAR The US Army in the Korean Demilitarized Zone 1953-2004 Manny Seck 4090116 "There are no memorials inscribed with their names or monuments erected that extol their sacrifice. The battles along the Korean DMZ (1966-69) are for the most part forgotten except by the families of the dead." Major Vandon E. Jenerette US. Army "If we're killed on a patrol or a guard post, crushed in a jeep accident or shot by a nervous GI on the fence, no one will ever write about us in the Times or erect a monument or read a Gettysburg Address over our graves. There's too much going on elsewhere; what we're doing is trivial in comparison. We'll never be part of the national memory." William Hollinger, HHC. 1st/31st Inf. 7th Infantry Division, 1968-1969. “If you have a son overseas, write to him. If you have a son in the Second Infantry Division, pray for him.” Walter Winchell, 1950 The author would respectfully like to thank 1st Sergeant Roy Whitfield, CSM Larry Williams, SGT Ron Rice, MSG Richard Howard, BG Charles Viale, LTC Robert Griggs, SSG Dave Chapman, CSM Jim Howk, SGT Al Garcia, CPT Lee Scripture, Bill Ferguson, Norm Treadway, and many others.

  • Korean War Forgotten - No More
    MAY 27, 2019 KOREAN WAR FORGOTTEN - NO MORE MEN OF BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ WHO WERE CASUALTIES IN THE 1 The Cover is of the Korean War Veterans Memorial (19 stainless steel statues). The statues were sculpted by Frank Gaylord of Barre, VT and cast by Tallix Foundries of Beacon, NY. They are approximately seven feet tall and represent an ethnic cross section of America. The advance party has 14 Army, 3 Marine, 1 Navy and 1 Air Force members. The statues stand in patches of Juniper bushes and are separated by polished granite strips, which give a semblance of order and symbolize the rice paddies of Korea. The troops wear ponchos covering their weapons and equipment. The ponchos seem to blow in the cold winds of Korea. NOTES This booklet was prepared on behalf of the Burlington County War Memorial Committee. It is interrelated to the Korean War Monument that was dedicated May 27, 2019. The men contained herein are those, from Burlington County, New Jersey, that are listed on the National Archives web site. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/military/korean-war/casualty-lists/nj-alpha.pdf The lists are based on the "home of record - state" data provided by the serviceman or woman upon last entrance into military service. "Home of record" does not necessarily refer to the place of birth, residence of next of kin, place of longest residence, nor other common uses of the term "hometown." The account and associated photos in the chapter “The Korean War” was prepared by Sean Kane-Holland. Photos and images used therein are either Government/Military Property or “Labeled for reuse” as determined by the Google Usage Rights Tool.
