HISTORY

Sometime after 1941, the parents of Walter Voss Jensen bought out the Liberty Drug Store. It was in operation in the mid to late 1940s.
They had a soda fountain in addition to their drug business.

Walter was a member of the 1st Cavalry Division; 8th Cavalry Regiment; 2nd Battalion; HQ Company. The Fight for Unsan, North Korea took place the night of November 1-2, 1950. Walter's regiment was overrun by 20,000 Chinese. This was the first time the 1st Cavalry Division ever lost their colors. It was a slaughter. Walter's remains are missing in action (MIA) to this very day.

Some time prior to 1954, Jensen Pharmacy was sold and became Bateman Pharmacy.
