LTJG JOHN KELVIN KOELSCH was serving with a Navy Helicopter Rescue Unit in North Korea in July 1951. In an attempt to rescue a downed flier, his helicopter was shot down in enemy territory. For nine days he led his crew toward the allied I lines but they were finally captured. Even as a prisoner he inspired faith and confidence in his men. He died of malnutrition on October 16, 1951. For his conspicuous gallantry . . . at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty LTJG KOELSCH was awarded the MEDAL OF HONOR.
