On May 1, 2004, a Cork Oak tree was dedicated to honor all members of the Armed Forces, including the 5,720,000 Americans who served in the Korean War of 1950-1953, the 33,651 killed in action, the 20,617 non-battle deaths, the 103,284 wounded, and the 8,207 still listed as POW MIA's. It also honored Korean War veteran USN Captain William L. McGonagle and the brave crew of USS Liberty (AGTR-5). In the Eastern Mediterranean on 8-9 June 1967, while sailing in international waters, USS Liberty was attacked without warning by Israeli jet fighter aircraft and motor torpedo boats, suffering 34 causalities and 172 crew members wounded. Although severely wounded during the first air attack, Captain McGonagle remained at his battle station on the badly damaged bridge and put the safety and survival of his crew above his own welfare. He refused treatment that would take him from his post and continued to command the ship under fire, maneuvering it, directing its defense, supervising control of flooding and fire, and seeing to the care of casualties. His valor inspired surviving crew members, many seriously injured, to keep the ship afloat. After the attack, despite great pain and loss of blood, he continued in command for more than seventeen hours and gave up personal control only after rendezvous with a United States destroyer. Even then he refused medical attention until the seriously wounded among his crew had been treated. His professionalism, fighting spirit, and leadership saved his ship and many lives, and President Lyndon B. Johnson, in the name of Congress, presented him the Congressional Medal of Honor.
