ROBERTSDALE, Ala. (WALA) -- A Silverhill man is set to represent Alabama at this year's Purple Heart Patriot Project at West Point.
U.S. Army Command Sgt. Major Ed Evans is a Korean War Veteran and was one of 27 survivors from his unit -- which came under heavy attack by the North Koreans. He recalls days and days of 24-hour shelling, running out of ammunition, as well as food and water while trying to hide across enemy lines before finding his way to safety.
