Mr. Barry went on to work the Miami News and Associated Press and won several awards. Mr Barry authored two books including Honor Clean which is still sold on Amazon and highly rated, fictional (for various reasons) of his combat experiences in Korea. A signed copy is included along with a 1st Marine Corp ashtray and copies of his DD 214, discharge, promotion paperwork, civilian awards plus other goodies.
We are selling this package for his widow who will put the money towards home repairs. Mrs. Barry wants to retain his dress blues at this time, but not his ribbon bar, because she has the actual medals.
