This is what the day was like for him on the day he was killed. It was written by a fellow A Company soldier who would have known Dallas. July 6, 1953 was the day he was killed. Pvt. Angelo Palermo, 21, Able Co./17th Infantry, said, “The Chinese were on their loud speakers telling us to surrender. If we did not, they said, we were all going to die. On the night of 6 July, as it started to get dark, the Chinese attacked in force. I was on a .50-caliber machine-gun when they started to swarm up the hill. I could have sworn that all of China was on that slope. We fired till we ran out of ammo and by that time the Chinese were in our trenchline, so we fought them with rifle butts, bayonets and even fists and helmets.”
