MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D.
..."After completing a variety of assignments during the immediate post-war period, Clark was given command of Fast Carrier Task Force 77 when the Korean War began, where he successfully blockaded much of North Korea. Clark was then given his final and most prestigious position on May 20, 1952: commander of the U.S. 7th Fleet, which was made up of around 225 warships and 70,000 men.
Clark retired from the Navy on Dec. 1, 1953, soon after hostilities ended in Korea. Upon returning home, he was made an honorary chief of the Cherokee and Sioux tribes and worked as an investor in New York. He died in July 1971 after a life of breaking social barriers and overcoming opposition.
We honor his service."
