The other 507th POWs received bronze stars, except for one that
received a silver star, all received POW medals and 2 who were injured
received purple hearts. They were awarded during a ceremony at Ft.
Bliss in June. You should be able to find news accounts online easily.
The silver star recipient shot some enemy troops before he was
captured. The broze star recipients did not break under interrogation.
At least one of them misled his captors about radio frequencies
written on the inside of his helmet being prices for pumps and other
parts.
