    Home after 73 years: Fort McCoy Soldiers pay honors to Korean War hero in local community

    A graveside service is shown at Sacred Heart Cemetery for Pfc. Charles Dickman on Oct. 21, 2023, in Cashton, Wis. Pfc. Charles Dickman was only 17 years old when he died fighting in the Korean War on July 12, 1950, as a heavy weapons infantryman with Company M, 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division. But he never made it home. On June 20, 2023, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced they had identified the remains Pfc. Dickman officially. And on Oct. 21, 2023, finally, Pfc. Dickman made it home to Cashton, Wis. A funeral mass was set up Oct. 21 in Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Cashton with hundreds of people in attendance with the graveside service immediately following. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
