Remembering My Grandfather: William Goodwin WIA

Comments: I was writing this message for my grandfather, William (Bill)W. Goodwin who passed away April 22, 2009 from cancer. He was wounded on Nov.17th. 1950 in Korea and spent ten years in the Army. Although he didn't talk about it much, he was a very humble man and raised our family the best way he could. We never went without. He was loved by us very much and will be dearly missed. His scarifices along with the others who paid the highest cost for our freedoms will never be forgotten by me. I'm dedicating my service in Iraq to his honor when I leave in March 2010. God Bless all who have served and are going to serve. Freedom is not free!

Did you know Corporal James Hensley?

Comments: Looking for anyone that served with CPL James Hensley. a Squad Leader with Company F, 17th Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division, on December 19, 1950, near Hungnam, Korea. Need eye witness statements of his Distingusihed Service Cross Action. Need to also verify that CPL James Hensley was from Clay County, Kentucky. Lived in Titusville, Florida until he passed away in 2000.

Corporal Hensley, James Army Distinguished Service Cross

Corporal James Hensley U.S. Army

Co. F, 17th Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division Date of Action: December 19, 1950

Citation: The Distinguished Service Cross is awarded to Corporal James Hensley, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving as a squad leader with Company F, 17th Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division, on December 19, 1950, near Hungnam, Korea. Elements of his company were deployed in a series of strongpoints approximately nine hundred yards apart defending the perimeter around the Port of Hungnam. Corporal Hensley observed a large hostile force approaching his position through a pass at approximately 0300 hours. Awakening and alerting the members of his squad, and instilling confidence that they could contain the attack, Corporal Hensley waited until the enemy had advanced within thirty yards and, manning a machine-gun, delivered point-blank fire into their ranks, inflicting many casualties. Although subjected to intense small-arms, automatic-weapons, and recoilless rifle fire and knowing the strongpoints on both sides had been overrun, Corporal Hensley refused to abandon his vantage point. On several occasions, hostile troops succeeded in crawling nearby and hurled grenades at his position, one of which grazed his hand, but undaunted, he remained steadfast and exacted a heavy toll of casualties throughout each assault. After nearly an hour of bitter resistance, during which he turned his weapon around twice to deliver destructive fire on enemy groups who had infiltrated on both flanks, Corporal Hensleys machine-gun became defective and failed to fire automatically. Applying instant action, he continued to fire single rounds manually until the weapon become inoperative. With his machine-gun out of action and a dwindling supply of carbine ammunition, he ordered a withdrawal and, struggling with his heavy weapon to deny its possible use to the attacking enemy, he fearlessly led his squad up the ridge line toward the last known position of the strongpoint on his left flank, stopping twice to fight his way through pockets of infiltrating enemy. Corporal Hensleys valorous conduct and intrepid actions resulted in numerous hostile wounded and, after the position was retaken later in the morning, approximately forty enemy dead were found in the wake of his field of fire.

Comments: Recently received a Feb. Mar 2007 issue of the Buffalo Bugle. Surprised to see a picture of Philip D. Grimm who just happed to be our platoon leader the first part of 1952. Does anyone out there remember the patrol that we brought back a dead Chinese soldier. We had probably carries him a mile and before we went up into the CP (an unnamed individual)_ wanted two of the guys from the patrol to hold up this dead Chinese soldier up so he could have a snapshot picture taken along side of him. Sgt Rozanski stepped in and reminded him that this would not be tolerated as we had to have respect for this dead soldier. I believe the rest of the patrol would have followed old Rossy to hell and back. Rossy was certainly an unsung hero that had the respect of the entire patrol I realize this is a downer but it's one of those old memories that still linger in this old soldiers mind. Some true stories are never told. Jack Reynolds

Why is there references to 17th Infantry and 17th Regimental Combat Teams are they two separate entities or precise and less precise refereneces to the same entity?

Congressional Medal of Honor

Comments: Because of the limits of the numbers of Congressional Medal of Honor winners, my Uncle Col. Wiley McGarity did not receive the CMH, but the DSC. I would like to get him the CMH, as both he and my aunt having failing health. How would I go about that? His citation reads:

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Wiley McGarity, First Lieutenant (Infantry), U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United Nations while serving with Company F, 2d Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division. First Lieutenant McGarity distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action against enemy aggressor forces at Paengma-gol, Korea, on 1 September 1951. On that date, Company F, in defensive positions on a strategic hill, was viciously attacked at approximately 0200 hours by an estimated three hundred ruthless hostile forces supported by automatic-weapons and grenade fire. After the enemy penetrated a company position on the west end of the hill, inflicting heavy casualties and gaining control of key terrain, Captain McGarity, armed only with a pistol and several grenades, braved withering small-arms and automatic-weapons fire and, launching a one-man assault against the fanatical assailants, killed approximately six hostile soldier before his ammunition was expended. Although wounded by grenade fragments, he grabbed abandoned enemy grenades and a discarded carbine and continued to pour deadly accurate fire into enemy positions until the ammunition was exhausted. Then, seizing a trenching tool, he closed in hand-to-hand combat, killing two more hostile soldiers. Maintaining his magnificent stand, he inflicted such sweeping destruction that the enemy broke off the engagement and when friendly troops reached the area, he was hurling grenades at the retreating force. His inspirational, intrepid actions exacted a toll of approximately thirty enemy dead and as a result of his incredible display of valor the vital strongpoint was re-secured.

17th Infantry Regiment in Korean War documentary

Comments: After graduating from BIOC and the Army Ranger School in March 1956, as a 2nd Lt., I was assigned to the 17th Infantry Regt., George Company, as a Rifle Platoon Leader. I was subsequently assigned as Regt'l Asst. S-1, Courts & Boards Officer, after getting two successive acquittals in Special Courts Martial, by the CO, Col. Glenn Gardner, under Maj. Wolfinger, the then S-1.

As many of you may already know, I have been working on a video documentary of the 17th Infantry in the Korean War since October 2005, having announced same at the 2005 reunion of the 17th Infantry Assn. in Columbus, GA. Much of my research and video clips can be seen at my website at www.legaleagleproductions.com which includes streaming video clips, stories and photographs. My wife and I have done numerous interviews around the country of 17th Infantry Korean War vets, having just gathered much material at the Army War Museum in Carlisle, PA.

We are looking for veterans of the Korean War from the 17th who wish to tell their story on camera to preserve it for their children and grandchildren. This is a non-commercial venture, and is being done to preserve the history of the regiment in Korea for posterity.

We are also looking for any photographs and/or film taken during the Korean War to be used in the project. The project is expected to take upwards of two years, and the documentary will have a preliminary screening at the 2006 reunion of the 17th Infantry Association in Colorado Springs, CO, this coming Setember; and will likely have its world premiere at the 2007 reunion of the Association.

Please feel free to contact us by phone, letter or e-mail. We look forward to hearing from you. Your video interview will ultimately be contributed to the Army War Museum where you will become a part of military history.

Looking for info on my Dad's outfit

Comments: I'm looking for any stories, memories of my Dad's outfit. His name is Malburne Williams, from Michigan. He served with the 17th Regiment, 7th Division. He was in King Company, 2nd Platoon, 2nd Squad. He was on Jane Russel Hill with heavy casualties, then later another hill he doesn't remember, where they were relieved by Ethopian troops, and then in the second battle of Pork Chop. He carried a BAR, and has no idea what happened to his helper, an African-american guy. He also recalls seeing a movie about Pork Chop Hill, (not the one with Gregory Peck). He is now a quadraplegic as a result of a hunting accident in 1988. Went through two fierce battles figting at night hand to hand, and was uninjured through all of that.

James O. Cunningham

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
