PFC Roger Gonzales

Requesting a pattern for PFC Roger Gonzales. He was KIA in Korea in 1950 and will be coming home Sept 13.  The photo isn't the best, but I think its the only one available. Fortunately, he has 2 sisters still alive. As always, thank you.

I'm amazed at the talent of the portrait makers here!

Here is the finished plaque. I did something I don't normally do but he has 2 living sisters so I made one for each. Usually when we do a funeral for an MIA from Korea or WWII there is just distant relatives.

Excellent work John and I am sure will be well loved by his sisters.  So kind of you to do one for each of them.  Thank you for your service to our military families.

John....You did a great job on the plaque…..Thanks for showing us......Ron

Not as thoroughly read-up on Korea as I should be (WW2 is my main area of focus, and there's not a lot of books out about Korea), but 1950....USMC....my guess is he fell at the battle of the Chosin Reservoir?

Rabid Alien. You are correct. Chosin
