Comments: In my heart I always loved him. Yet I never had a chance to meet or even see him. You see, he was engaged to my mother Jannis Christopher and died with my baby picture in his front pocket next to his heart. I was born in December 1952 and he was killed in April 1953. The way I understand it, he kept volunteering for more and more dangerous missions so he could come home sooner. His plan was to come home and be my father, as my own father all but abandoned us. His memory has haunted me my whole life. I miss him every day. My mother by some coincidence married a man with the same last name (his cousing I think) years later, so at least I have always carried his last name. If anyone knows ANYTHING about him or could help me locate his family or a picture of him I would be eternally grateful. He died in the first battle at Pork Chop Hill April 18, 1953

Comments: I have searched for the truth as to what happened to my brother, SFC Marvin Rodman."K" Co& 3rd Btn had over 40% casualties,so,on paper he was put in"L"Co,BUT it was in rear lines. He was in heavy combat- all in his unit supposedly came off Hill#598-he was not with them. He was reported to have been wounded &in a Hospital in Japan- that was never proven.

It took 5 Cablegrams from Congressman Earl Wilson to get him declared MIA as of Oct 20,1952. The Army keeps records as to meals & movies BUT they could not keep track of my brother.

I have contacted Congressmen, Senators, Generals, Presidents, & others with contacts in the Pentagon or The Pentagon trying to find out what actualy happened to Marvin. The Army can not or will not tell us what actually happened to him.

The Army just quite simply lost him- he was declared KIA as of Dec 31,1953.No doubt just to cover their tails as for sure someone knows the truth as to what happened to Marvin.

If anyone knows anything or knows someone who does PLEASE let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated.
