Introduction

Gordon Madison Hatcher was born on September 13, 1931 in Alabama to parents Gordon "Green" Madison Hatcher (1888-1981) and Minnie Lee Scott (1903-2003). Private First Class Gordon Madison Hatcher, Jr. demonstrated his dedication to both the mission and his fellow soldiers during his service in the US Army throughout the Korean War. As a member of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, he exemplified the commitment and valor of those who served alongside him. Tragically, Corporal Hatcher was declared Missing in Action while engaging the enemy in North Korea on December 1, 1950. After an extended period of uncertainty, he was officially presumed dead on December 31, 1953. In recognition of his courageous service, Corporal Hatcher was posthumously bestowed with several esteemed honors. These include the Purple Heart, a symbol of his wounds sustained in combat, the Combat Infantryman's Badge, attesting to his frontline participation, and the Korean Service Medal, United Nations Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Korean Presidential Unit Citation, and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal, acknowledging his contributions to the war effort and his commendable actions on behalf of his country.
