by. The Austin area PGR will be involved when Cpl. Luna arrives on

In late November 1950, Luna was assigned to the 8<sup>th</sup> Army Ranger
Company, 25<sup>th</sup> Infantry Division, then attached to B Company, 89<sup>th</sup>
Medium Tank Battalion as part of Task Force Dolvin. The 8<sup>th</sup>
Army Ranger Company was deployed on Hill 205 in Kujang County along the leading
edge of the U.S. position. On November 25, the Chinese Army struck in
force in what would become known as the Battle of the Ch'ongch'on
River. Task Force Dolvin, including the 8<sup>th</sup> Army Ranger
Company, was forced to withdraw to the south. Of the 91 men from B
Company, 89<sup>th</sup> Medium Tank Battalion and the 8<sup>th</sup> Army
Ranger Company, only 22 made it to safety. Ten men, including Luna, went
missing on November 26 near Hill 205. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

In 1998, a joint U.S.-Democratic People's Republic of North Korea (D.P.R.K.)
team, led by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC), excavated a burial
site in Kujang County where a girl had uncovered possible American remains on
a hill near her school. The site correlates with the area where members
of the 8<sup>th</sup> Army Ranger Company fought as part of Task Force
Dolvin. The team recovered human remains and non-biological material
evidence. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
