Alfred Hernandez Sr. Alonzo, age 28, from Tampa, Florida, Hillsborough county.
Spouse: Lupe R. Alonzo
Service era: Korea
Date of death: Thursday, November 2, 1950
Death details: On September 6, 2006, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC, now DPAA) identified the remains of Master Sergeant Alfred Hernandez Alonzo Sr., missing from the Korean War. Master Sergeant Alonzo joined the U.S. Army from Florida and was a member of Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. On November 2, 1950, the 8th Cavalry Regiment was under attack by Chinese Communist Forces near Unsan, North Korea, and MSG Alonzo was killed during this action. His body was not recovered at the time of his loss, nor was he identified among remains returned to U.S. custody immediately after the ceasefire. In 2000, a joint U.S./North Korean investigative team interviewed a farmer who uncovered human remains while performing reclamation work near Unsan. The team excavated the burial site and recovered several more sets of human remains, and using modern forensic techniques, U.S. analysts eventually identified MSG Alonzo from among these remains.

Date of death: Monday, December 18, 1944
Death details: He was aboard the destroyer USS Hull as it operated as part of the Fast Carrier Strike Force in the Philippine Sea. On December 17, 1944, the Hull was participating in refueling operations when the ships of its fueling group were engulfed by Typhoon Cobra. The Hull lost its ability to steer amid the enormous waves and began taking on water. The Hull eventually took on too much water to stay afloat and rolled and sank shortly before noon, on December 18. Sixty-two crew members were rescued, but a little more than two-hundred crew members were lost in the sinking.
