Comments: My dad was in the Korean War 1951-1954. Was on front lines Heartbreak Ridge. Landed at EnChong. He was a Corporal. He doesnt remeber much and never talked much about the war. Trying to see if anyone still alive he was with. He remembers a Lietenant Colson. A black man that he thinks was killed by him. Also a man last name of Jones killed next to him. He was in the 7th infantry division. One of his uniforms has a A5 on it but may have been before he left for Korea. I have his RA #. Mentioned King company. Remembers observation post duty. Please help with any information anyone may have. Thank you. Also in the tank division. SKull on front of tank.

Comments: I am looking for anyone who knew my Grandfather Harold Barfield while he was stationed in Korea. He was a tank commander with the 14th during 1951 and 1952. I was also hoping to find Tom Layton my grandfather's driver during that period. I believe that he was from Michigan. Any information would really be appreciated.

Comments: My Father was a Platoon Leader in the 89th MTB. His name is Jerry Owens (Lt.) from New York. He has a picture of him standing in front of a sign that say's "14th Regimental Tank Company". He was attached to the 14th Infantry Regiment (25th ID). He served mid 52 - mid 53. I'd love to hear from anyone who was in the unit during the same period. Also, my Dad sweved in WWII with the 11th Airborne Division. He was an enlisted man during WWII and was called up and sent to Armor Officer Basic Course at Ft. Knox.
