Cpl. Hiroshi H. Miyamura: Almost six months after arriving in Korea, Cpl. Miyamura was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions south of the Imjin River, near Taejon-ni. After an intense firefight, he became a prisoner of war for over two years. For the next 28 months, Hershey endured harsh treatment and malnutrition. He would be one of the last groups to be released on August 21, 1953. For his heroic actions against the enemy, Cpl. Miyamura was recommended for the Medal of Honor and once approved, it was classified as top secret since he was still a prisoner of war.
