Brothers abroad
I was talking to my grandpa, Donald
Pruett, about the Korean War. He was with a group of men, and one
of the guys stepped on a mine. Grandpa’s leg was injured.
Two friends made a saddle pack to carry him out. His leg was in
too much pain. Another friend who was big and strong carried him
like a baby for one mile to get help.
He was sent to a hospital.
He stayed 30 days. His brother, Harold Pruett, had been in the
army. My Uncle Harold and Grandpa had not seen each other in
two years. Uncle Harold stayed in the same town where my grandpa
was in the hospital. He did not get to visit my grandpa because
he did not know he was wounded.
