William “Bill” Guess

William “Bill” Guess proudly served his country during the Korean War.  He served with the 8th Army 32nd Engineer.  Upon returning home, he settled for a time in Indiana with his wife Inez.  Later they made their way to Franklin County, Tennessee and made their home.  Together, they raised seven wonderful children.  When speaking with Ms. Inez, she recalls so many wonderful memories of her husband and the life they shared.  Last year, she was sure to personally place a wreath on his grave when a Wreaths Across America event was held at the cemetery in which he rests.  She honors his duty and their life together to this day.

I feel privileged to place a wreath on his grave each Christmas with the Wreaths Across America program. We will do our best to always remember him.

Korean War - Key Events

December 6, 1950

The U.S. Marines at the Chosin Reservoir begin their “attack in a different direction” as they engage in a fighting retreat to the port of Hŭngnam. Two entire Chinese armies have been tasked with the destruction of the 1st Marine Division. They succeed in driving the American force from North Korean territory but pay an enormous price: as many as 80,000 Chinese troops are killed or wounded, and the CPVF Ninth Army Group is rendered combat-ineffective for months. “Frozen Chosin” becomes one of the most-storied episodes in U.S. Marine Corps history.

These events are taken from the Encyclopedia Britannica
