During the Korean War, on October 15-20 1951, during vicious round-the-clock battles to take Hill 675-770 from the Chinese, Msgt Woodrow Keeble (also a ww2 vet) was wounded four separate times (Oct. 15, 17,18, 20), awarded the Silver Star (Oct. 18) and the Distinguished Service Cross (Oct. 20) after he singlehandedly took out 3 enemy bunkers despite suffering from two gun shot wounds sustained two days before, a twisted knee, and 83 pieces of shrapnel lodge in his body and face. His bravery in the face of enemy fire was so remarkable that a recommendation that he receive the Medal of Honor was twice submitted. In both cases, the recommendation was lost. He passed away in 1982.
Only in 2008, his military records were finally rectified (records only showed him receiving 1 Purple Heart despite being wounded in WW2 and Korea multiple times) and his DSC was upgraded to the Medal of Honor after his family fought tooth and nail to make it happen.
During the Medal of Honor presentation, Kebble's step son Russel Hawkins said: "If he was alive today, I would tell him there's no one I respect more, and how he is everything a man should be: brave, kind and generous. I would tell him how proud I am of him, and how I never realized that all this time, I was living with such greatness."
