PASCO COUNTY, Fla. (WWSB) - The body of a Korean War hero who died in Florida will be taken on a 1,000-mile journey from Zephyrhills, Florida, to Kentucky.
According to his obituary, Wallace joined the Army Air Corps in 1941 to help support the war effort. A decade later he was deployed to Korea where he served in the Army’s 38th Ordinance Company as staff sergeant and section chief. He passed away in February and those who knew him worked to raise money so that he could be returned to his home state of Kentucky.
