Peter Bury

Peter Bury (CAS’48, GRS’49) of Lisle, Ill., a Korean War veteran, received a Bronze Star and the Korean War Service Medal on May 27, 2017, more than 60 years after being discharged from the army. Peter served with the Army’s 58th Field Artillery Battalion, 3rd Division, and was eventually promoted to first lieutenant. After he was discharged in 1953, he received notice that he had earned the Bronze Star; it never came. This year, he contacted US Representative Bill Foster’s office for help.
