This section acknowledges all of the Buffalo Rangers of 2d Ranger Company who trained at Fort Benning and /or joined the unit later and served in Korea. Although the roster that appears in the appendices consists of those men who were aboard the USS General H.W. Butner, this entire section provides a more complete view of the Rangers who served in 2d Ranger Company throughout the war, including replacement troops who served faithfully with 2d Ranger Company but were not aboard the Butner.
This section provides a snapshot of where life has taken each man to the turn of the new century. All efforts have been made to ensure accuracy as of that time. It was compiled with the help and research of many Rangers and RICA. To any Ranger who may inadvertently have been excluded, I apologize for such a terrible oversight and please know it was unintentional. Readers should be aware that over the years there have been numerous individuals who have tried to claim involvement in 2d Ranger Company but do not appear in official records or were not known by me or other Rangers. Every name in this section belongs to a soldier who is not only in the official records for 2d Ranger Company, but is known to other Rangers who served with him in Korea. I have been careful to include all soldiers who deserve the recognition of serving as a 2d Ranger Company Ranger during the Korean War and to exclude those whose claims, although persistent, cannot be substantiated. If I have omitted any Ranger with a valid claim to service with 2d Ranger Company, I apologize for the mistake.
To our Buffalo brothers: I appreciate the service and sacrifices that you made. May the Good Lord continue to watch over the Rangers of 2d Company and bless you and your families.
