Bangor

Maine’s Korean War veterans of Burton-Goode-Sargent Chapter 1 will add 12 names, including that of a Medal of Honor recipient, to the Maine Korean War Memorial at Mount Hope Cemetery in a public ceremony at 11 a.m. Sunday. The additions will bring the total list to 245 area servicemen who lost their lives during the Korean War from 1950 to 1953.

The ceremony will include congressional candidate Sean Faircloth. Several of the names being added were not previously classified by the Department of Defense as casualties of war since many were transferred with wounds to Japan where they subsequently died of hepatitis. Two others were not classified as Maine residents for various reasons.

New names will include: Capt. Tauno O. Brooks (Air Force), 1st Lt. Neil A. Chapman (Air Force), Pvt. Marlan A. Dyment (Army), Cpl. Reginald E. Gervais (Army), 1st Lt. Donald E. Glidden (Air Force), Pfc. Richard M. Golden (Marine Corps), Cpl. Mahlon L. Raymond (Marine Corps), Staff Sgt. Eugene E. Sherwood (Air Force), Pfc. Earl A. Sweat (Marine Corps), Cpl. Laurence A. Reed (Army), Cpl. David B. Champagne (Marine Corps, Medal of Honor winner). Any families who believe a relative’s name should be on the official Korean War Memorial should call Fred Hardin at 825-4065.
