In early November 1952, 2nd Lt. Ron Freedman, along with 900
members of his battalion, boarded a military transport
ship-destination ... South Korea. While onboard, Ron was given
fifty Christmas cards and told to write home. He couldn't remember
if he had fifty friends, but he did remember Nancy "Pete" Smith, a
girl he'd once dated in Boston. Their correspondence continued
throughout one of the most turbulent years of the Korean War -
1953. In May 1953, not long after the first battle of Pork Chop
Hill, Lt. Freedman transferred to the 7th Infantry Division as a
Forward Observer, 48th Field Artillery Battalion. His service
earned him the Silver Star ... and a Purple Heart. Many have
written about the Korean War, and the two desperate battles of Pork
Chop Hill in particular. Love Letters to Pete tells the personal
story of one soldier who took part in the 2nd Battle for Pork Chop
Hill. But the letters he wrote to future wife Nancy "Pete" Smith
don't tell all of the story. Now, 60 years later, Ron gives details
of actions not told in those letters. Together the comments and
letters in Love Letters to Pete give a complete picture of life at
war-the boredom, endless training, friendships, battles, and an
almost casual heroism, as told by one who lived it to the one he
loved.
