Colonel Ralph Puckett (U.S. Army)
U.S. Army Colonel Ralph Puckett, Jr., a legend in the Ranger Regiment will be awarded the Medal of Honor at the White House on Friday for his own “conspicuous gallantry” during the Korean War. South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who had planned an official state visit to President Biden, will also attend the ceremony.
Puckett, now 94, has served his country and the Regiment for more than 70 years.
He graduated from the U.S. Military Academy when he was 23 and was assigned to an Infantry company in Japan. Yet, Puckett volunteered for the Ranger Company. However, he was told that there were no more lieutenant positions in the 8th Army Ranger Company. He was nonplussed. Puckett said that he would “take a squad leader’s or rifleman’s job,” taking a rank bust several grades lower than a lieutenant’s. Colonel McGee, who was in charge of forming the Ranger company,
Puckett, who retired from the Army as a colonel in 1971 and became the national programs coordinator of Outward Bound Inc., continued to stay involved in the Ranger community in the following decades as an icon and mentor, earning induction into the U.S. Army Ranger Hall of Fame in 1992 and serving from 1996 to 2005 as the first Honorary Colonel of the 75th Ranger Regiment.
A statement released by the White House on Wednesday underscored Puckett s daring and heroism in Korea more than 70 years ago.
During a daylight attack on a rise called Hill 205 on Nov. 25, 1950, Puckett s 8th U.S. Army Ranger Company took incoming mortar, machine-gun and small-arms fire.
