Dear Mr. West,
It was with much admiration that I read of your brave rescue of your fellow soldiers under trecherous conditions in Korea. Your quick action and clarity of thought undoubtedly saved the life your lietenant and the other men in your unit. You risked your own safety to help others in trouble -- multiple times. You are a true hero. God Bless you.

Private First Class Ernest E. West, a brave soldier under fierce conditions of battle. Even being wounded he managed to help other soldiers to safety. I can understand why he might have been somewhat "jumpy" when the co-worker clapped him on the shoulder. I liked what President Eisenhower said to him when giving him the Medal of Honor. Very deserving of the honor.

Mr West is the most humble and kind people I ever met. I was given th chance to shake his hand as a supprise birthday present from my wife. When I stated taht I felt as if I should not even be in the same room, He responded to me with "We are all the same son.". I have been blessed with the cahnce to meet a true and great American Hero and I will take those memories with me all my life.

Sir,
I was honored and humbled by meeting you in Kentucky. Now I have read the account of your bravery, I am more of both. I realize the sacrifice you and your fellow soldiers made is the reason I have the honor of serving today.
