Looking for Information Chupa-Ri, September 01, 1951

Comments: My uncle was killed at this battle ans was awarded the DSC and our family has been looking for friends, and information about this battle and people with information about the action that took the life of my uncle. We are trying to get this information as we are requesting for an up-grade in the medal to the Medal of Honor. At this point we need information about who was there and if anyone would be able to give vital information to us. We have been working on this for over a year and have had little information from the U.S. Army as they inform us that all the records were destroyed in a fire in St. Louis.

If any one can assist our family in our quest please let me know.

Thank all of you

Comments: My father-in-law, Robert (Bob) Breen, served in Korea from Jan to Nov 1952 in the 17 INF. I am currently putting all his letters from the war onto the internet to serve as a historic resource.

I'm looking for anyone that may have served with him and could provide some insight into the infantry's role at that time, or better yet if you have any anecdotes about Robert that you can share. He says he was in the 3rd Battalion, if that helps. He also mentions a "Chapman" many times in his letters.

Anyway, Robert Breen passed away in 1996. He suffered from Parkinson's Disease for many years toward the end of his life. He only had one child, Elizabeth, to whom I am married.

Thank you for your time.
