As it turned out, while my uncle was at the very start of WW2, he didn't serve in it. At Scofield, he was in the USMA prep course. He was in the 3-year class of 1945 with Harold Moore and 8th SFG's COL Dexter. He was in the Japan Occupation Army prior to Korea.
COL Dexter was trying to help me find out how my uncle got an SS. His records were lost in the K.C. fire. We never found out. I did find his citations for BSM with OLC.
Here's my last message from COL Dexter:
