MY HERO UNCLE STORY

Sgt Alfred H. Alonzo, Sr Birth: Jun. 28, 1922, USA Death: Dec. 31, 1953, North Korea More than a half-century ago in Tampa, two fatherless boys grew up a mile apart. The older one was Alfred Alonzo Jr.; the younger, Fred Alonzo. The two never met. Their mothers, the widow and the ex-wife of Army Master Sgt. Alfred Alonzo Sr., told them their father had disappeared in the Korean War in November 1950. His remains had not been found. But news last month brought the half brothers together for the first time. DNA evidence had finally identified their father. The remains of Mr. Alonzo, along with those of seven other U.S. servicemen, were discovered in the summer of 2000 near a North Korean village south of Unsan. His regimen, the 8th Cavalry, had been attacked by the Chinese People's Volunteer Forces. His first wife, Regina Alonzo, since deceased, never believed her ex-husband was dead. She figured he had escaped and was living with a Korean woman, said Alfred Alonzo Jr., a Vietnam veteran. Mr. Alonzo married his second wife, Lupe Alonzo, in 1948. Months later, he left for Korea and sent for her. She settled in Tokyo, where Fred was born in 1950. Lupe Alonzo last saw her husband when Fred was 3 months old. She waited for Mr. Alonzo for several years in Tokyo before coming home to Tampa.
