A year ago, Paul Rohr's family went online to research his service record and death in the Korean War.
Rohr died March 12, 1951, while a prisoner of war in Pyokang, North Korea. When the family was notified in 1951 of the U.S. Army sergeant's capture and subsequent death as a prisoner of war, they never received his military medals.
On Wednesday, that oversight was corrected at the Onsted American Legion Hall.
