Congressman Williams Honors Korean War POW

COPPERAS COVE, TEXAS – Congressman Roger Williams (R-Austin) presented a certificate and medallion to MSG (R) Clifford L. Petry in recognition of his time and as Prisoner of War (POW) during the Korean War. As the representative of a veteran-proud community, Rep. Williams shared his gratitude for his valor and service.

"It is one of my greatest honors as a United States Representative to serve our veterans," said Rep. Williams. "Earlier, I was able to recognize one of Texas' very own, MSG (R) Clifton L. Petry, who served in the U.S. Army for over 28 years. For almost three of those years during the Korean War, this hero was taken a Prisoner of War. I commend him, as well as all POWs, for his courage and selflessness throughout that time. I am forever grateful for his service, and it was a privilege to be able to recognize him today."
