Comments: Served in 40th Infantry Division, Feb 53-Mar 54. In 140th Tank Bn, supporting 12th ROKA Division east of Punchbowl when we were awarded the US Distinguished Unit Citation (Battle for Hill 812). I was wounded in that action. Remained with division as we moved after ceasefire to Chorwon area then south to vicinity of Camp Casey. I left the division prior to its deactivation and return to the US. Later as a Corps G3 (IFFVN) in Vietnam I had the great pleasure of working with the ROK forces assigned to our corps. They were great troops. My wife and I returned to Korea (as individuals) in late October 1999, rented car and driver and toured HWACHON, YANGGU, INJE, PUNCHBOWL,and CHUNCHON areas. Deeply impressed by the Republic and its citizens. The National Museum (YONGSAN)was an additional high point. Great country.
