Elmer "Jack" Turner

“I played ball at University of Arkansas for a year before enlisting. I always wanted to be a Marine, since I was 8. I was a marksman in Korea. Once we ran into enemies by the river and were outnumbered. We withdrew until we realized they were out of ammo. We came back and stayed until they withdrew. I wanted to get out and get home. I wasn't a hero, I was someone who could shoot.”
