    Marine Cpl. Albert I. Ireland, five times wounded in World War II, is shown holding the letter authorizing him to join his buddies in Korea. After being rejected for overseas duty, he got a special pass and went to see Gen. Clifton B. Cates, Marine Corps Commandant. He is now enroute from Camp Lejeune to the West Coast on the first leg of his journey to a combat zone. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Karina Lopezmata)
