Army tank commander William Lester “Les” Duty and his men were fending off an enemy assault on T-Bone Hill during the Korean War in 1952 when he was shot in the heart. “They put him in a body bag and sent his mother word that he was dead,“ said his wife of 50 years, Marianne Rogers Beck Duty. “He told me he was going through this tunnel and there was this light, and then he was pulled back and he started to fight to get out of the bag. He started clawing his way out.“
