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.
