Michael A. Rock of Everett, an Army private assigned to the United Nations Support Group in the Republic of Korea, was awarded the Army Commendation Medal with Valor Device for “gallant action during a firefight at the Korean truce village of Panmunjora.”

The war memorial at the Edmonds Museum commemorating those killed during World War II would be updated to include personnel who died in the Korean and Vietnam wars. Names of those from the Edmonds School District who died during those wars could be sent to Lt. Col. Bill Crump.
