I have removed Pfc Cecil Richard Floyd from the Korean War Honor Roll simply because I have not found any evidence he had a connection to San Saba County. I believe the War Dept made a mistake with the name 'Hall', using it as a town name instead of the county where Cecil was living when he enlisted.
