Camp Hamilton Veterans Memorial Park

George Chegay, of the United States Marine Corps, was killed in action on July 27, 1953, while serving with Hotel Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines in Korea. The Navy corpsman who took care of Chegay was Doc Candelario. Doc said that Chegay was the last Marine killed in action in Korea. We are not sure of Chegay was the last Marine in his unit killed or last Marine from the U.S. killed in Korea.
