Carolyn,
Thank you for posting on our board in remembrance of Sherron Harbison.
Sometime in the coming months, former Captain Jay Copley (Retired) will receive the Distinguished Service Cross for his efforts that ultimately brought "C" Company in to save Wendell Barnes and the others from "A" Company on May 5th, 1968. Please be in touch with me & I will keep you posted on the details. At this time, although we had hoped the award would be presented at the change of command ceremony scheduled for June 15th...it appears the neccesary preliminaries will not be completed in time....hence, a ceremony date is now "unconfirmed". I know many of the survivors of that battle plan to attend, when a date is set...and I am sure you would be a most welcome guest if you can manage the trip.
We are also hoping you may be able to supply us with a photo of your former husband for his new memorial page...recently completed:
http://www.ichiban1.org/pdf/Memorial/Harbison.pdfI wrote to you approximately 2 weeks ago and received no response. Possibly you did not receive my e-mail.
Please know that SGT Harbison will not be forgotten while we are all still living....and it is our hope that his legacy of heroism will live on through our memorial efforts in the years after we all finally join him.
Sincerely,
Jim Sheppard, Association Historian
