Gorham's Devotion An Inspiration Then & Now
Col. Gorham's unselfish devotion to duty will always be an inspiration to the citizens of the Bellevue community
Colonel Gorham and his small group of troopers...Accomplished all the missions assigned to the entire regimental combat team. It was a remarkable performance, and I know nothing like it that occurred at any time later in the war.
