JESSE BLASONGAME wrote on February 23, 2011 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Something you I feel you should be informed of: On September 15, 1951 Lieutenant Colonel Franklin B. Niharts 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines was attacked on Hill 749 by die-hard NKPA troops who were charged to stand or die. The 2nd Battalion took a torrent of fire from 76-mm., 105-mm., and 122-mm. artillery as well as 82-mm., and 120-mm. mortars which, according to division reports, reached an intensity that was estimated to surpass that of any barrage yet encountered by the First Marine Division in Korea. Then began a frenzied North Korean ground attack. In wave after human wave, with bugles and whistles screaming signals, the North Koreans threw themselves against the marine line. The marines bent but did not break. PFC Richard Blasongame upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service during that night as the acting platoon sergeant of the heavy machinegun platoon serving with COL Niharts Weapons Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines. PFC Blasongames extraordinary heroism was one reason why the line did not break. He was acting platoon sergeant in charge of the machinegun emplacements at the point of the battalion perimeter most exposed to attack. Again and again, the North Koreans assaulted his emplacements through the night. When gunners were wounded, he manned the guns. He hurled grenades. He evacuated wounded. He rallied his men. When ammunition and grenades became critically short, he left his foxhole and exposed himself to a hail of hostile fire in order to inform his commander and supervise resupply. When a grenade exploded under his last remaining machinegun, inflicting wounds to his face and hands, and jamming the traversing mechanism, PFC Blasongame continued to fire through the night by moving the tripod from side to side. As morning dawned, only four survivors remained out of his sixteen-man section. Two hundred and eighty- seven enemy dead lay in front of his position. An unknown number of enemy dead and wounded had been carted away by their cohorts. Acting platoon sergeant PFC Richard Blasongame was recommended for the Medal of Honor. (From the book We Claim the Title 2nd edition, 2000 by Burton F. Anderson) Because the paperwork was lost it was nine years before his heroism was officially recognized, then he was awarded the Navy Cross. He also was awarded two Purple Hearts (one of which was for a separate action). Richard Blasongame died at his home in Joshua Tree on Monday February 21, 2011. He will be buried at the National Cemetery in Riverside California on Monday March 7th. He leaves his wife, four children and eight grandchildren. Keywords:
