Tom O. Fuller '52 is retired and living in England. Tom recalls that he and three Auburn ROTC graduates were sent to the 52nd field artillery battalion in Japan in 1953. After a few months of intensive training, they were sent to Korea and it took them almost a week to arrive. "We were alerted to go to the front line. President Eisenhower and North Korean leaders realized that three Auburn guys would muddle up their war, so they agreed on a cease fire effective July 27, 1953." After a few weeks, the men were sent to perform guard duty at a POW camp near Pusan. Tom was an officer every third day and third night. Eventually, Tom returned to Alabama and became off-duty but stayed in the reserves. Alan C.
