Col. Phillip D. Grimm

Comments: Then LTC Phillip D. Grimm was our Bn Co from 68-69 at Camp Kaiser, Korea till he went to 7th ID G-3. Col. Grimm was a leader in every sense of the word. Col. Grimm was a platoon leader in 51-52 in the 17th and then came back to command the first Bn in the 68-69 time period. We have a large write up about Col. Grimm on the 17th Infantry web site. I attended his services at Arlington Cemetary and finally got to meet his family whom I felt I already knew fromn serving with Col. Grimm years ago. Our country is lucky to have had the services of Phil Grimm for all those years of Infantry service.

Comments: I am looking for anyone who knew my Dad. His name was Earl Pugsley. He was a corporal in the US Army in Korea. He and his unit got a write-up in Stars and Stripes for breaking up a "red ambush north of Yong Wol". He was 21 years old when he came home from Korea. He was from Fresno, CA. He was in the Korean War in 1951 (probably, we don't have exact dates). Thanks for any responses, and especially, pictures you're willing to share.

His weapon was a recoiless rifle. He lost a friend last name Rizzono and a Lieutenant he really thought a lot of when a motar hit the back of a jeep they were riding in. I don't know about the spelling but it will sound like you would pronouce the spelling. I would like to hear from anyone who would remeber my dad or Mr. Rizzono.

I remember a silk banner he brought back that I proudly displayed in my youth. It was very colorful - and I remember the print said, "7TH Division, 17TH Infantry, Yong Dong Po, Korea".

comments: I am looking for anyone who served with my father, PFC Edward Dunnigan. He was in E Co. I'm not sure which Bn. but he said it was known for making it all the way to the Yalu. Initially, he was assigned as a sniper but later on was reassigned as a BAR man just in time for Pork Chop Hill. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Regrettably, he has passed away, but I remember one story; They were about to go out on patrol, led by a guy from Hawaii (Anthony Hayakawa?). Dad said that he was one of the toughest men he ever saw. He stood in front of the squad, armed with a Thompson SMG, a .38 in a shoulder holster, and a .45 in a hip holster and said while pointing at each man, "If I get hit, you're in charge, if he gets hit, you're in charge..." when he finally got to dad he said, "...and if it gets down to you, RUN!" That's the moment when dad said that he knew that this was serious.

My dad died on Veterans Day 2002. He named me after his friend William Dean who was killed in action during the Korean War. My Dad named me after his fallen friend. I do not know his last name. Both families knew each other. Both were born in 1932, they were the same age. I believe that William Dean was from either Indiana or Illnois. I am searching for who he was and his family.
