Comments: My father was approx. 1 year younger than PFC Ralph Zecco, he was also in the Army. He never stopped looking for his brother. Why weren't his remains never found? Could he have been a prisoner of war? My father, Staff SGT. Patsy Zecco believed this to be the case.

Thank you, Arlene Bond

He told of how his outfit was about to leave on a night offensive and he had been above the 38th Parallel and didn't wish to return. His family would love any information from the men he servied with. Thank you all.

Comments: I would very much like to hear from anyone that served with my Father on Porkchop Hill.I'm sure he would appreciate seeing them again also.He served the Army from 1951-1954.He was given a Purple Heart;but like many others I am told cannot receive their medals unless someone comes forward as a witness to their actions in war because of paperwork in those years.His seperation paper says he was to receive 2 Bronz stars. It is more important to me that he receives them because I am sure he deserves them.
