What battles or hills was my dad involved with?

Comments: My father was in Korea from approx 2/52 to 6/53 with 3rd ID company C/HQ 15th Inf Regiment. He never really spoke to much about Korea other than how cold it was over there and things were rather tough. He recently passed away and I found a bronze star order that was awarded after he left Korea.

He did tell me that he was wounded in early 1952 and shipped to Japan. I can't find the order for this purple heart or his 1st CIB. When he was shipped back he was assigned to drive for Maj John D. Eisenhower until leaving Korea. This was around Oct. 1952

Can someone provide information on battles or hills he might have been involved with? (i.e Outpost Harry, etc) Since his DD214 is not accurate and this information was destroyed in the fire is their other information or way to get the purple heart and CIB.

He also served in Vietnam in 25th ID where he was wounded and medically retired.

Ofcourse like many of our soldiers from that era he has been turn down for medals, pensions, Etc only because DOD has lost his medical records which would prove that he was wounded in combat.

Info on Sidney Edward Johnson

Comments: I am looking for any and all information regarding my grandfather, Sidney Edward Johnson. He grew up in Aiken, South Carolina. According to a copy of his "Form 66--Officer Qualification Record," he would have been either a 1st Lt or WOJG (his records indicate a resigned commission, though he was later an officer again; I believe he resigned his commission in order to get out of administration and back in a combat platoon) in "Co H 15th Inc FECOM" during Korea. His earlier service included survival of the attack on Pearl Harbor, fighting from Schofield Barracks, and fighting in the campaigns of New Guinea and the Philippines, later serving as part of the occupation forces of both Japan and Germany. I have a Japanese Battle Flag that my grandfather gave me years ago as a child that I am having framed. It includes a note from him indicating that it was taken off a deceased Japanese soldier in October 1944, outside the town of Dagupin, in the province of Lingayen, on the island of Luzon. The dead Japanese soldiers, one from whom this flag was taken, were inside a thatched hut. The hut was burned and the two Japanese soldiers were cremated. All indications from this website are that U.S. forces did not land on Luzon until February of 1945. Is it possible there were forces in this area in October of 1944, or was my grandfather's memory faulty? Incidentally, I am currently having the flag (Japanese writing, bloodstains and all) framed to hang in my house. I am extremely proud of my grandfather's service, but know little about his experiences, other than his military records and some pictures taken during WWII and Korea (after trying a number of times over the years to get him to relay accounts of his experiences, including a request to do a videotaped oral history, only to be told, quite sternly, that "war is hell, Jason," I stopped asking). He and I were very close and, six months before he died, I changed my last name to my mother's maiden name so that I could carry on his legacy. I buried him at Arlington. Any information on my grandfather would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Eighty-five members/guests attended the thirteenth annual reunion of Outpost Harry Survivors Association, held in San Diego, California from June 10 to June 13, 2004 at the Holiday Inn at Mission Bay/Sea World area.

Following registration on Thursday a reception was held during which the group was welcomed by association president, Francis Riley and the motel staff. Jerry Cunningham, reunion coordinator briefed the group on the reunion schedule of activities and then the group was treated to a complimentary buffet.

Friday the group took an extended narrated tour of San Diego that included the downtown, business area, Navy and Marine facilities, Balboa Park, Coronado Island. Stops included the beach, Navy aircraft carrier Midway, a gourmet lunch served overlooking Mission bay and a typical waterfront shopping area. The evening was spent in the hospitality room viewing material from the association’s historical archives.

Saturday morning a memorial service was held in remembrance of the soldiers who died defending the outpost and the members who died since the last reunion.

While the members held the annual business meeting the ladies had brunch. Floyd Diewert was elected President and Del Tolen was elected Vice president. The reunion coordinator offered two sites for the 2005 reunion. The members voted for Hawaii.

During the banquet on Saturday night Major Tom Whitaker, Vice President of the Marne Association Outpost, gave a comprehensive presentation of the division’s action in Iraq during OIF.

Keywords: My orders for Korea got to me before the 15th Inf shipped out. I went to the 32nd of the 7th Inf Div on Mt Fuju, Camp McNair [we called it tin can city]. The Bn. Commander was Lt Col Gary H. Schumann, The HQ Co, Commander Was 1st Lt Lynn, A mess Sgt called Gabby, A SFC who wanted to be KIA for the glory.[We stayed as remote from him as we could get] We trained ROKS on Fugi. We went in at Inchon, to Puson, then to Ewon and north to the chosin and the resort of Samsu overlooking the beautiful Yalu river. The 40 below was bad enough, but those divisions of unfriendly fellows on the other side of the river were not really musicians even with their bugle tooting. I am now 74 years old so I have forgotten some less thrilling things. I do remember, when we were drawing our weapons and clothing in the army or marine base south of LA, california, they had run out of parker liners, long johns, fatigue jacket liners, artic foot wear and most of the comfort apparel that was in fashion at the time. The only warm jacket I had was a communist quilted one that I liberated. The people I remember was a 15th Inf Warrant officer Lee A. Graves KIA. A 7th Cav regt, Able Troop, SFC John Glover platoon Sgt KIA Most of that Company were KIA. I had been in occupation with the 7th Cav previously at Camp Drake, Japan. The only one who survived of Able Troop that I know of was SFC Konapeski who I later saw at Fort Benning. Like most soldiers I was infantry first, but later received training as a medic, clerical, military police, supply, and what not.

Comments: I am writing this for my dad, Carl W. Siegel. He has pancreatic cancer and only has a couple of months. He is 84 yrs. old and this past year is the first time he really started talking about the war. He doesn't have a lot of time left and is starting to get confused. But if anyone out there remembers him, he'd be thrilled to get a card or a quick note from you saying you remember him. He is deaf in one ear (war injury) so phone calls are kind of difficult. He feels forgotten right now so any rememberence would really up lift his spirts.

He was in WWII:5th Army(Tech 5). Hq Battery 4321 AAA AW Battalion. Campaigns: Tunisian, Naples Foggia, Rome Arno, No. Appenines, Po Valley. He served from 1942-45

He was also in the Korean War: 3rd Div. 15th Inf. Co.A (Able) 1st Bn. He was a M/SG. He served from 1950-54 and then joined the Reserves until 1963.

He remembers he was a replacement for SG. Mills and he remembers doing patrol with a LT. Cobb along the Imgem(?)River.

Other names he recalls are Rocko from Brooklyn, Johnny Albright and Seth Huntley(?) from Askansas. I think they are from WWII.

He also remembers a guy named Nick from the Reserves who would stop by the house to visit and always had a handful of candy for us kids. At that time we lived in Hometown, IL.

Any acknowledgment of him would be greatly appreciated. Thank you you all.

Recognition for Veterans

Comments: Fellow Veterans

My father John Madison Bennett is a veteran of WWII and I am a veteran of the Viet Nam era, and the nephew of a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, posthumously, of the Korean War. My uncle PFC EMORY L. BENNETT was a member of COMPANY B, 15th INFANTRY REGIMENT, 3rd INFANTRY DIVISION, and was killed near Sobangsan, Korea on June 24, 1951, while providing a one man cover fire so his company could effect an orderly with-drawl. The Emory L. Bennett Foundation Inc. was formed on Sept. 25, 2002 by family members, classmates, and friends of Emory to place a statue in his honor in the New Riverfront Park in Cocoa, Fl, and to remember ALL veterans of all wars or conflicts. Cocoa currently has no downtown recognition for veterans, it’s about time. June 24th 2003, was 52 years since Emory was killed, now is the time to erect a lasting memorial in Emory’s home town to him and All veterans. Emory lived in Brevard County for 15 years before he enlisted in the Army. The park where the statue will be located is less than a block from where he lived most of his childhood. A life size statue, base and memorial plaques will cost in the neighborhood of $100,000.00. This is no small amount to be sure, but neither is the sacrifice that our veterans have made for all of us, as you well know, so we can enjoy the freedom of our day-to-day lives. In closing we are asking for your donations to this worthy cause, as it is the right thing to do. When asked, as you recall, our veterans did the right thing no matter what the cost, including sacrificing their life. All contributions are tax exempt to this memorial, Cocoa’s only downtown open-air veteran’s recognition. Thank you for your monetary support. Please visit our web page listed below for more information and photos.

son of E Co member '51 & 52

Comments: My Dad, Leon Beusse, went in 11 Jan 52 at the age of 20 and sailed Korea from San Fran in the spring. He is still alive and well as of this writing. He doesn't (won't) talk much about his tour, but I'm sure he would like to contact former comrades. At one point, he was positioned at an outpost around 38th parallel, I think. He has mentioned Ch'orwon and the "Iron Triangle", or something like this. Late in '53 (again, I think this is accurate) he was detached to 8th Army headquarters in Seoul as an MP.

If anyone out there knew my Dad and/or where E company was during this period (and any details, such as location, action they saw, etc.), PLEASE, PLEASE E-MAIL ME. I think more closure for him would be great and healthy. Any information on reunions, available rosters, books, etc, would be appreciated as well.

Greatly appreciated and I wait for the day that Korean vets gain the recognition and appreciation they deserve,

Len Beusse (son)

Do you remember James Ernest Ranard?

Comments: My father was wounded by a mortar shell on July 31, 1952 in North Korea. He died twenty years later when a piece of shrapnel he received in that battle finally worked its way out of his heart and caused a massive coronary. My father was a very sensitive man and could never bring himself to talk about his experiences in Korea. It would help me to have a deeper understanding of the father I loved and lost if anyone could provide me with anecdotes/memories of my father or the conditions he might have faced in Korea.

Thank you to all of our Korean vets!
