DO YOU KNOW MY GRANDPA? D W MANES

Comments: Serious Replys only! (No Jokes)

My Grandfather DW Manes died not to long ago after battling alsheimers. I would love to hear any wonderful stories any one can remember. He always said he had lots of buddies. Mostly he talked about how he had to save some of his buddies,& watch helplessly as others died all around him. He told me of his friends that died in his arms. I would be interested in hearing more about how brave he was, or any funny memories you may have. He always remembered what every metal or award he had was for no matter how much he forgot.

I looking for any one who knew Bill Zeller, he was with the 140th AAA BNSP. He was in korea from 1950-1951. he told me a story about when his unit was doing perimeter security one day around their pause and one of the new guys stepped on a land mine and it wiped out some of the column. he was struck in the face by shrapnel and lost his front teeth, and also took some in the leg. he never was awarded his purple heart and hasn't gotten any assistance from the va for medical bills. if someone out there knows him could you please help me out so maybe he could get what he deserves. he told me that over the years that alot of guys from his old unit had passed away. but if there is any survivors of the 140th AAA BNSP, please contact me so i can try and help him out. People say that crap that Korea is the forgotten war. well to me it's not. You guys wrote the pages of our history, and i give the upmost respect for what you gentleman had to endure there.

He grew up on a farm outside of Nashville, Tennessee and had 5 brothers. One of his brothers also went into the Army the same day he did.

CAPT. GEORGE, LAST TO LEAVE

Comments: EXCERPT FROM "THE FIRE BALL" VOL.1, NO 2. 12 Feb.1953 After 28 months of service, Capt. Donald B. George, 23 year old Bn. Cmdr., Battery D, 140th AAA Bn, of Santa Barbara, Calif., is undisputably the last original National Guardsman to leave the 40th Inf. Div. One of over 18,000 trained soldiers, to say goodby to the Golden Gate in 1951, he went ashore in Korea on 22 Jan.1952 with the 140th AAA Bn. and on to the ridges of Kumhwa. Scheduled for rotation to the U.S. in July 1952, he extended his enlistment and said goodby to most of his friends. The 40th became representative of every state in the union. "The entire division has rotated home before my eyes", he said, "I have served under two generals and five battalion comanders. That's indicative of a lot of rotation." Capt. George left Korea for another Army assignment on 29 Jan. 1953 Don't know where he is now, or whether he realizes he is so big a part of the history of the 40th Div., but his hobbies were journalism and photography.
