They no longer say "wounded" as in previous wars. So it's both correct and incorrect to refer to someone as "wounded" in the Korean War. That was the term then and in the Vietnam War. Now the word is "injured."</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446203190818_31339" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446203190818_32074">Don Kirk</span></div> <br><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> On Friday, October 30, 2015 3:38 PM, MIchael <lastmarx@comcast.net> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv8813944744"><div><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;"><div>Hi John,<br clear="none"></div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the military, "injured" usually means a non combat injury like from an accident. If your father was in combat, he would have been listed as "wounded" (WIA).</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Folks,
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>I posted this question a while back, but have more information now, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction:</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>My father was injured in the Korean War in late August, early September 1952. He was with the USMC, Korea "E" Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Reg., 1st Division.</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>Since I live in Seoul, I would like to find out where he was injured, or details of the battle. He received 2 Purple Hearts, because he was hit again while being carried off the battlefield.</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
<div>John</div></div></div></div>
