Donald J Proffitt

Comments: Anyone who may have served with my Uncle Donald please let me know anything you may remember about him. I never knew him and have always wanted to know more about him. He was my mothers' brother, and was killed in action June 1952. My mother passed away 2 years ago, and I have since found his letters to her along with some newpaper articles, mainly regarding the other Texans who fought and died when he did.

Thank you,

Elder Evans

Comments: I am an attorney assisting Mr Elder Evans in a Veteran's Claim. We must establish that he was a member of the 179th--unfortunately his records were lost as a result of the St Louis fire. Mr Evans is a Black Male. He served under a Lt Few (Phew) and was bayoneted on June 1, 1953. He is from Sumter, South Carolina but also had relatives from Brooklyn, New York. We would appreciate any information from anyone who might remember him or Lt Few (Phew) or copies of any reports/logs that might tend to substantiate his service in this unit. Please contact me at (803) 418-0800. Thank you. T. Murphy

179th Infantry E-5 Anyone Remember ROBERT TREVINO?

Comments: My dad has been trying to look for anyone from his unit. He only can remember 2 names. One was LANDRY VOID (first name may be incorrect)and a man by the last name of MOTT. My dad carried Mott to safety after a bomb explosion and would really like to find him to see how his life has been. I think Mott was same age as my dad at the time. Mott sent him a Christmas card one year and his father called one time to thank him for saving his son. This is all the info I have. Any information would be much appreciated my dad has done so much for me and my immediate family and I want to be able to give something back to him.

David A(ugustus) Leonard

Comments: My uncle David A. Leonard was killed in Korea 13 June 1952, one day before the end of his tour. I was hoping that anyone who served with him or knew him might share any recollections with me.

I was born 2 years after his death, and his loss was very difficult for my father and his family. They rarely spoke of him, but I know (from family archives) that he was deeply loved.

His parents and siblings are now all passed. I just want to know more about this man, his life, and perhaps the circumstances of his death.

Thank you in advance for your consideration!
