Description: The seller has described the following to the best of his ability. This sale is for an award given to Lt. Col. Dale A. Hawkins for his help with flood and drought relief in South Korea during what the seller believes was the 1960s era. Lt.Col Hawkins served in various posts around the world including South Korea and graduated OCS school in 1947 according to online research. This impressive brass award consists of a figure atop a decorated base that has a plaque on the front. The seller believes that the name of the man who received this award could have been misspelled on the plaque. The plaque reads "PRESENTED TO LT COL HAWINS, DALE A I APPRECIATE FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. YOUR BEST EFFORT FOR THE DROUGHT AND FLOOD RELIEF OPERATION WHICH HAS PROMOTED FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN U.S. AND ROK. AND HAS BEEN OF GREAT ASSISTANCE TO THE WELFARE OF THIS NATION PARK KYUNG WON LT. GEN. 2ND ROK ARMY COMMANDING". Above the plaque are 3 brass stars and a triangular shape with "2" in the center, which is the symbol for this Korean unit. The seller believes that the figure on the top, which measures about 12 inches in height and weighs about 9 pounds, could represent Saint Andrew Kim who is held in high regard in South Korea among the Catholic community. This unique award was artfully and carefully crafted. The overall weight is over 15 pounds. The small red round tag indicates the company in Seoul, Korea who made this award. The figure and the base will be disassembled as pictured and shipped in 2 large priority boxes because of the size and weight of these pieces and can easily be reassembled by the buyer. Study the pictures carefully as there are no returns. This seller does not ship internationally except through the Global Shipping Program.
