Abbott, Robert - I would like to add a few notes to your site. My dad Robert Abbott U.S. Army 7th Division 32 Regiment Service Company, was in some of the battles you write about. He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for the dates of Nov. 15 - Dec 15 1950. His citation reads the 32 Inf moved through Northern Korea to the Yalu River area and then South to the Hamhung - Hungnam area. Driving day and night and under constant threat of ememy fire Private Abbott, often without sleep made numerous trips over the treacherous icy mountain roads. If you were there you know the rest. I saw a pin the other day it was called the Chosen Frozen. I am thinking that must have been all of you who were there. Some men he speaks of from his unit are Errol Hutchinson, Tony Calamastro, Robert Evans, Smitty (Paul C. Smith) Richardson, Harper and many more. I have recently found that Hutchinson has passed away. May God rest his soul. My dad is alive and well, with the exception of losing his sight. He would love it if we could find anyone from his unit, or others who were there. I hope I hear from someone. I am so proud of all that my dad and the other men did. I think you are all heroes. I do have original extract papers and with a lot of men's names and serial numbers etc, if anyone knows how i could utilize these to find these men please contact me. Thank you. Cindy Schmit.
Adams, Herbert - I joined the Navy two days after the North invaded, but since I wouldn't be 17 until June, 30, 1950, I had to wait 3 days to be sworn in. Since the holiday was coming up, they told me to come back July 5th for ship out to NTC GLAKES. I retired 10-2-69 as a Senior Chief Aviation Boatswain's Mate. From Jan 51 to May 53 I served on The USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31) in V-2 Arresting Gear. From May to Dec of 1951 and from May '52 to Jan '53 we were in Korean Waters. (5 battle stars, Korean Service Medal, Navy Unit Commendation, Korean PUC, etc.) Cold and damp, but our hearts went out to those GI's on the beach. We were a different people then. Proud to serve!!

Bridges, Billy Gene - I would like to add my father to the Korean War Veterans Register. Unfortunately, I don't have much information to give you.

Britt, S/Sgt. William Edward - My name is Barbara Britt Forbish and I am the only child of S/Sgt. William Edward Britt who was killed on March 22, 1955 when the Navy DC-6 transport he was riding in crashed into Diamond Head. I have very little information on my dad as my mother was extremely resentful that he went overseas when apparently he could have requested not to go as he had a wife and baby. Because of this resentment, she destroyed everything relating to my father except for 3 pictures my great-grandmother hid from her and gave to me before her death.
When I was little, I just accepted my dad was dead. As I reached my 20's, it bothered me that I knew so little, but my mother continued to refuse to tell me anything. Over the last year, God has graciously dropped two people in my lap who knew my dad and one actually had a letter from him that detailed a great deal of his military service and she generously gave it to me.
I can tell you that he enlisted in the Air Force and took his basic training in San Antonio, Texas on November 2, 1951. He was shipped to Amarillo, Texas (where I was born at the base hospital) on January 4, 1953 where he attended jet mechanic school and then became and instructor. He was also at Tellis(?) AFB in Las Vegas for 6 weeks sometime after May of 1953. He shipped out for Korea on January 18, 1954 and stopped off in Japan and eventually was stationed at Siewan. He left there on August 4, 1954 and returned to Japan. The letter I have is dated December 28, 1954 and in it he says he will be leaving for home in about 80 days, but doesn't say where he is.
A month ago I was contacted by a lady from his home town of Marengo, Illinois who said her husband is a member of the VFW. They are interested in honoring my dad with a star on a plaque, but she felt the date of his death was incorrect as her husband had seen my dad in Hawaii just before he shipped home in December of '54. When I got the letter my dad wrote, there was a clipping about the crash that states all the passengers had boarded in Tokyo.
There is a large hole in my heart where my dad should be. All I know is that he
smoked a pipe, the lady from Marengo tells me he played the drums and the bass and was
very musical. I now have 5 pictures as she sent me two from his year book. Please feel
free to give out my email address as well as my home address and phone number to anyone
who might have met him anytime he was in the service.
I will greatly appreciate any and all help you can give me.
Thanks,
Barb Forbish

Bishop, William Boyce - I found your web site today by accident. My father served in the Korean war from 1950-53. I am 37 now, so by the time I was born on up to adulthood I heard no more mentioned than a few words, newspaper clip, and letter saying "goodbye from San Francisco." I am only now just beginning to understand all that tormented this wonderful man that took his own life in 1994. If you could connect me with other family members, veterans, etc. that may have the same shared experiences I might be able to put some of the pieces together to this tragedy and continuing saga for me... one left behind. I did locate his discharge papers but they aren't very legible. From what I can tell he was discharge on June 19, 1952 form HQ 3d Armored Division, Ft. Knox, Kentucky. It also indicates his most significant duty assignment was Sve Brty, 695th AFA Bn... I believe as best as I can tell. His service number was RA 14 325 602. I hope from this information you can put me in touch with someone who knew him perhaps or was where he was and could shed some light about what he dealt with there. You've been very helpful. Thank you very much. Anxiously awaiting a reply, Sherry Bishop

Recently my mother Fran {D'Arcy} gave me her brothers war rifle. It is a Winchester, 30 M 1. I am currently restoring his gun. As I am doing this restoration of his gun, I think a lot about him. I never met my uncle because after the war, he went to work up in the Yokon, NWT, and started a family there. He was killed up in Hayes River, NWT. He was welding a barge and it blew up. They never did find his body. It is too bad that he had to die before we could meet him, after going thru two wars and surviving, then coming home, to be blown up and killed. He was my mother's only brother and the last surviving member of her family.Thus I wish to find out more of him, what he did in the war, etc. Maybe I could post an ad somewhere for other vets to read. Perhaps someone out there remembers him. Maybe they have pictures? We don't have any of him.So please respond to my request for information. Any suggestions would be most pleasing. Are there any web sites i can access? My E-mail: address is

Greer, John H. - I was with the 2nd when we landed in a surrounded Puson at the beginning. we replace a marine company facing hill 409 we could see it had been hell for the marines we replaced by all of the dead bodies at the bottom of our small hill. we moved about five hundred yards on a knoll facing a road. much used by both sides we had everyday hostilities as our tank brought out the dead from a village a mile to our right. we were sent to the village dayly to reenforce it and encountered korean troops trying to move south through us. we were to busy then to realize the possition we were in. if my memory is right we were in 1st regiment A company. we stayed and fought there till Inchon was invaded and we started moving north against retreating koreans, few made it. we suffered huge loses in men and equipment but held on till Inchon.
Griesi, Pasquali - My uncle, Pasquali Griesi served in the Korean War. He just recently was awarded a Medal for Meretorious Ground Service. He lives in Beachwood, New Jersey.
Griswold, Benjamin F. - I am looking for any information about my father, Benjamin F. Griswold. All I know is that he was a Korean Was Vetran with some kind of field commision. He was not a casulaty, but I do not know if he had been wounded. I never knew him. My mother divorced him after the war and I was adopted by my step father. Thank you for your time. Dennis F Gruber (Griswold).
John Louis Grandowicz - He was a Korean war veteran, serving from March, 1951 to Jan., 1953. He served with the 369th Core of Engineers. I have pictures and memoriabilia to share that he brought home from the service that I would love to share with you and other fellow veterans of the Korean war. My father was so touched by the whole war, especially the children. He was a cook. And he served plenty of good meals. He always would find some extra's for the orphaned Korean children of the war. I have pictures to show that. He was a father figure to a lot of the children that were orphaned in the war. I guess that is why my father had so many children of his own. When he came back from the war he married my mom Florence Byrd and had 11 children. He told us lots of stories of the "forgotten war" but I thought they were just all stories, because there was no media. No acceptance of news of a civil war in Korea. The only show about Korea was M.A.S.H., and I thought that show was about Vietnam, because nobody talked about Korea except my father. My father was diagnosed with Crohn's Diease when he was 23 years old. He lived to be 65 years old. He died of a heart attack. He had 43 surgeries to remove the small and large colon, leaving him only 3 feet of bowel left. He lived this way for the last 17 years of his life. To this day, I can still hear him say "I wonder if it was something I ate in Korea?" or " It was those damn Atomic testing in Nevada, I just know it!". I commend you starting this Korean War Museum. I hope my father's history can help. I was considering building my own memorial for those Korean Vets. This is great. My father still lives on when I see all these Korean War veterans. My dad was good friends with a John Pasonovich(not sure of the spelling). If you can contact his buddy this would be great. My dad used to go to all the reunions for his class in the Army, but as of June 6th, 1996 that was no longer to be for he had died. Please let me know what I could do. Thank you, Kathleen Malko, 31027 W.Bellview St., Buckeye, AZ 85326 623-393-0925

I would be interested in hearing from anyone that served in Hdqrs. Co. at that time.Gutierrez, "Ross" S. - My father was a veteran of the Korean War. He was a Ranger. His training took place at Fort Bliss, TX. His name is Rosendo "Ross" S. Gutierrez. He is originally from Valencia New Mexico. I am interested in finding out more about his service in the Army. He was a Purple Heart recipient. His memories were to painful for him to ever discuss them openly. From what I recall, he was one, if not the only survivor of the battle for which he received the Purple Heart. He suffered a great deal due to this experience. He had severe back problems, from "being frozen in a Rice Patty" (?), Not to mention many unspoken psychological problems (perceived), nightmares, etc. His family members say he was "never the same" when he returned home. I Loved my father very much. I want to understand him better, so I can share him with my four sons three of whom never met him. Is there a resource where I can review his service records? What type of information will I need to provide to obtain this information. Thank you. Sincerely, James L. Gutierrez.

Johnson, Dennis W. - Served in the CIC
corps. during the Korean conflict. I know that most of the circumstances surrounding his
capture were and still are being kept sealed, but, I would like to know of any persons
that might have had contact with him during his time in Korea. He was release in a
prisoner exchange, and returned to the US, but, never fully recovered from the
experience. Also, due to this sealing of records, my mother is being denied any
benefits from the government. As some of you can attest to, they had a fire and it
(destroyed) most of the records for the CIC corps along with many others. He has
since passed on, after struggling with the VA through many painful and tearful meetings in
Arkansas. I do not know if this will bring forth any light to the subject, but, I had to
try to help as best that I can. Please, any persons associated with the CIC or other Army
units that might have had contact with my father, contact me. This is not an inquiry for
records release and you will not be called as any witness. We have long since given up on
the legal route. I am simply seeking the truth of the situation to put this to rest.
He was awarded the Bronze Star and the Silver Star. He was a
member of the Signal Corps and was trained as a medic. This is all the information that I
have to go on, but, as I uncover more information I will try to forward it to help with
the search. He was discharged as a SSGT. at Fort Chaffee, AR. Thank you. .

spent 10 days at Fort Geo. Mead for further assignment which was to
Aberdeen Proving Grounds. I spent the next 6 mos. at Aberdeen doing my
basic training, Instrument Repair school and a special course in the
maintenance of the brand new range finder for new M1 tank. In the first
part of April 1953, I reported to Fort Lewis, Wash. for further
assignment in the Far East. I shipped out of Seattle in the middle of
April 1953 and ended up at Camp Drake, Japan. A few days later I was
sent by rail to Sasebo, Japan. Almost immediately I transported by ship
to Inchon. Within a few days I was assigned to the 107th ORDNANCE CO.
(DS) I Corps, 8th Army. The 107th, at this time, was located near a
little town called YONCHON (approximately 15 miles north of another
little town called UIJONGBU, which was I corps hdqtrs). Also, we were
about a mile south of 7th Div. rear and just a bit west of the 2nd Div.
(8" howitzers) unit. I was with the 107th ORDNANCE from end of April
1953 until the end of September 1953 at which time I was flown to the
OSAKA ARMY HOSPITAL in Japan. In October 1953 I was assigned to the
TOKYO ORDNANCE DEPOT and remained there until approximately March 1954.
I was then assigned to the 8170th ORDNANCE CO. which was located within
the Camp Drake complex. All this while I remained an Instrument
Repairman. I left the 8170th ORD. CO. on August 6, 1954 for my discharge
and return home via San Fransisco, Oakland and Fort Knox. I would like
to find some G.I. friends. Here are a few names that I remember: corp.

I realize that this is
quite long, however, memories are very important to a lot of us that
were in Korea. I want to thank all those responsible for this website.
you are doing a great service for a lot of, I'm sure, grateful
servicemen and their families. By the way, I did try to respond to
another party that was interested in some information about the 107th
ORD. ,however their e-mail was sent back to me as undeliverable. The
address was ksj5@virginia.edu.
Is there any way that you could look into
this? I would really like to contact that party. I'm not too sure, but I
think the G.I."s last name was Stevens. If anyone would like to write

Speiser, J.C. -I was in Korea from 1977 through 1978. Not exactly in the thick of things, but for an 18 year old from Florida it was enough. Just out of AIT and a brand new infantryman, I was assigned to an Infantry Unit at Camp Casey. Climb a mountain in full gear? I had never seen one before. 6 months at Casey, forced marches, squad drills, live fires, everything a teenager could want. Then we relived the guys in the DMZ at Liberty Bell so thy could rotate to Kentucky. What a difference! Full combat loads, nightly patrols, curfew, Lt's sending 2 patrols into the same sector (forgetting to brief the squad sgt's on that little item) and then absolving themselves when a fire fight broke out. I got out in 1986, and have been in law enforcement for 13 years. A shoot out, plenty of fights, but nothing compares to a 3am fire fight in February in the DMZ. I have a real compassion fro those who served in the 60's and came home. Please keep this website going!

Taylor, Arthur L. - I am trying to find out any information about my Father's role in the Korean War. His name is Arthur L. Taylor and he is from Flint, Michigan. I think he was in the 8th Ranger Division during 1950/51. If anyone served with him, I would very much appreciate any information you could give me. I am basically looking for his rank, division, where his unit was stationed, and if he recieved any commendations. To this day he refuses to talk about the War, and has even been brought to tears by it in the past. This leads me to believe that his dodge story of "I never left Fort Benning" is a lie. I can be contacted via e-mail at Thank you. Jayson Taylor
Temperly, James H. - I served in Korea from Jan of 1952 to Jan of
1953 with Company "B" 116th combat Engineer Battalion which was
then under 10th Corps. Our unit was responsible for keeping the oad that went
up to and down into the
punch bowl. It was no easy task believe me. I drove a dump truck from 1800 at
night until, 0600 the following morning.
This was seven days a week and went on the entire year I was there. I went
from Basic/AIT training right to Korea.We did our duty, and did it proudly. I
am
sick and tired of all the praise being given to the Viet-Nam vets who think
they had it so hard. They know nothing. I
know, I was there two times. No, I didn't need drugs or pot to get me through
each tour.
Sincerely: James H. Temperly U.S. Army Retired P.O. Box 115 Farley, Iowa 52046
Tognazzini, Milford - My father was stationed in Korea for 29 months and met my mother in Korea. I was born in Korea and my first stop in the United States was Fort Ord. I am writing my mother and fathers story and am looking for any information. My father re-enlisted in the Seabees in 1969 and went straight to Vietnam where he was killed. I can not ask him about army life or the memories and am hoping you might take time out of your busy schedule to send any information to me. My Fathers name is Milford Tognazzini on the off chance that you may have known him. Please send any replies to: Joan Tognazzini Cox, .
Thibodeaux, Lawrence - 1st Co. Airborne Rangers. Korea 1950-51. Served 3 tours as a Vietnamese Ranger.
I live in Alabama now. One of the first contacts we had many years ago was with someone called Emmette Fike. He had a computer at the time and I'm betting that he is online if only I could come up with the right key words. Another name is Ret. LTC Bob Black who served with 8th Co and wrote a book about the Rangers.
Since my husband's death in 1989, I've remarried and have gotten my degree in History/Creative writing. Unfortunately I have become confined to the house and the computer has become a major source of enjoyment to me. My 19 year old son is awaiting a heart transplant, and I am waiting with him with them on my hands for conversation.
I wrote a short story called, "Baptism of Fire", about my husband's trip to Korea and his combaat at Chipyong-ni. It was published at a local university. I also wrote a poem about my husband's funeral at Arlington which was also published and which I had the honor to present at a reading.
Would like to share with anyone who is willing to keep an "old" lady company on her vigil.

Woods, Robert Earl - My name is , I am a diver in the United States navy with hopes of learning more on what Korea was about and to see if any one my remember My fathers name. My Fathers name is Robert Earl Woods. While growing up he would tell me stories about his life in the army. Dad had mentioned on occasions the Korean War. Not until I was older would he talk about his part in Korea (after seeing something on TV calling Korea a conflict and not a war). When he would mention Korea ; PORK CHOP HILL had been said a few times. My age at the time could only think of hamburger hill (the movie) and thought it was a mistake. While in the Navy I have heard Pork Cop hill mentioned here and there, and hoping to find some help on the subject. Some of my fathers Duty Stations mentioned were Hawaii, Japan, Korea, Oklahoma, Texas and Missouri.
