He then received an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point, entering in July 1939, and graduating with his accelerated class of January 1943. While a cadet, Wesley met Irene Helen Kinnaird and they were married in her hometown of Garrison, N.Y., on November 23, 1946. Together they shared the adventures, joys and challenges of a military career and raised three children. Wesley was commissioned in the infantry. He fought in the Luzon Campaign of 1945, in the Philippines, and afterward was on occupation duty in Japan. During the Korean War, he was wounded at Chosin Reservoir in November 1950; he then commanded a battalion in the Spring 1951 offensive. After attending the Command and General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth, he commanded a battalion in Germany, taught at Ft. Leavenworth and again served in Korea. Promoted to Colonel in 1963, he served during the Vietnam War as a senior advisor and then post commander of Long Bihn, the largest U.S. Army post there. In total, he served eight and a half years overseas. He finished his 30 year career supervising Army Reserves in New England. He was a permanent Colonel in the Regular Army. He was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge with star and the Purple Heart; his meritorious decorations were the Legion of Merit (twice); Bronze Star Medal (three times), Army Commendation Medal (three times) and Air Medal. Wesley retired from the Army in January 1973 and he and Irene moved to Springfield, Mo., a year later. He worked for several years in the City of Springfield Planning and Zoning Office before retiring permanently. He served on the vestry of Christ Episcopal Church, and along with Irene, was instrumental in establishing the Springfield Chapter of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI).
