Mr. Cash served nine years in the U.S. Army, fighting alongside the Marines in seven major battles and two invasions. His remarkable record of service includes roles as a Military Police Officer, a tank trainee, and even serving as a bodyguard for the scientist who invented nerve gas.
He earned a Bronze Star for his courage saving a colonel during the second invasion and three Purple Hearts for injuries sustained during combat. Those injuries were sustained surviving a grenade attack, a bayonet stabbing, and the brutal conditions of Chosin Reservoir. The injuries from that battle, the survivors of which are dubbed the “Frozen Chosin,” eventually crippled his legs.
“I cannot believe the work they have done on my house,” said Cash. “There aren’t enough words for me to tell everyone how much I appreciate them.”
