- We thank Betty Burrill of Dallas, Texas for providing us information about her husband that will be appreciated by his friends and relatives in the area. As a 20-year-old Marine in Korea nearly 50 years ago former Orono resident Clarence “Chuck” Burrill rescued a fellow Marine from behind enemy lines. Wounded twice in the process Burrill’s lieutenant nominated him for the Bronze Star Medal with a combat “V” and two Purple Hearts but Burrill never received the awards. In 1996 according to a story in the Charlotte Observer, Burrill met with his former lieutenant now retired Gen. Jim Day, at their Korean War Recon Company reunion in California. Gen. Day asked Burrill if he ever received the awards. Burrill said no. Again Day submitted the request but as with the previous submission this one apparently was lost somewhere along the line. Burrill finally inquired about the awards himself which resulted in his being presented them during a May 6 ceremony at the Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Center in Charlotte, N.C. Betty Burrill wrote us that her husband “grew up in Orono and graduated from Orono High in 1951 He was' very active in sports and patriotic so he joined the Marine Corps.” She added that her husband “still has family members and friends in the Bangor, Brewer, Orono, Old Town and Ellsworth area” who now know he has been recognized properly for his heroic deeds during the Korean War. Burrill is retired from Wallace Computer Services Attending the ceremony with him in May were Betty their children, Lisa and Mark and six grandchildren.
