Madsen of Mt. Pleasant have received word that their son, Sgt. Emil J. Madsen who is serving with the 145th F. A. Bn., in Korea had received several letters of commendation for his initiative and ability in developing a modification of the standard arms rack. In June of 1951 while Emil was stationed at Fort Sill he submitted a set of drawings of a modification of carbine gun racks that made the gun sub machine Cal. .45 absolutely secure within the rack. Captain David E. Salisbury had sent the drawings to the Commanding Officer at Fort Sill, and had written: The usual difficulties of storage of this weapon, that of being able to unscrew the barrel, release the trigger guard and rftnove the stock, has been overcome. This suggested modification can be easily and cheaply adapted to present Government issue Carbine Storage Racks. Recent G-- 4 Inspectors mented very favorably on the gested modification. Request this letter with comsug- in- cluded drawings of proposed modification be forwarded to Post Ordnance Officer, Fort Sill, Okla., through proper channels so that the capabilities of the suggested modification can be studied and adapted to use if desireable. Also so that the initiative, devotion to duty, desirability to do an outstanding job. of Cpl. Madsen can be properly recognized. Lt. Col. Howard O. Golladay, Commanding Officer of the 145th F. A. Bn., wrote: "Sgt. Emil J. Madsen, Btry. A, 145th FA Bn, is to be commended for his initiative in recognizing the need for and the shortage of a suitable arms rack for the Gun Cal. .45, also foi developing a workable solution. Whether or not Sgt. Madsen's plan will be adopted remains to be seen but the fact thaa he has done soniehing concrete is a credit to himself and his organization and he is to be highly commended." 1st Lt. of Artillery, John D. Florio had written: "You are a credit to yourself, this organization and the United States Army; and you are to be highly commended for your initiative and ability in developing a modification o the standard arms rack. e, Sgt.
