Ralph Puckett
Ralph Puckett Jr. (born 8 December 1926 in Tifton, Georgia) led the Eighth Army Ranger Company during the Korean War. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions on November 25, 1950, when his company of 51 Rangers was attacked by several hundred Chinese forces at the battle for Hill 205.〔Ralph Puckett, WD AGO FORM 639 dated 11 Jan 1951〕 He retired from the United States Army in 1971 as a Colonel. After being appointed on 19 July 1996, he has served as the Honorary Colonel of the 75th Ranger Regiment〔(USMA class of 1982 recommendation for COL Puckett for the Distinguished Graduate Award )〕 and is frequently in demand as a public speaker for military ceremonies.
==Military career==
In 1949, Puckett graduated from the United States Military Academy (where he captained the Army Boxing Team), was commissioned as an Infantry Second Lieutenant, deployed to Japan, and immediately volunteered to be assigned with the Rangers. When he was informed that there were no more lieutenant positions in the 8th Army Ranger Company, he said that he would "take a squad leader's or rifleman's job"; positions several grades lower than a lieutenant's. Colonel McGee, who was in charge of forming the company, was so impressed by Puckett's attitude that he gave him the company commander's position; a position normally reserved for Captains. On 11 October 1950, the Eighth Army Ranger Company entered the Korean War, conducting raids during both daylight and night time conditions.〔(1949 USMA graduate Puckett )〕
