Looking for Pine Cones from Camp Polk

Comments: I am a current 1-180 member. I am interested in hearing from any veteran of the Korean era who knows the history of the Pine Cone. The tradition continues, but I fear we have lost some needed history on the ceremony. Please contact me if you have information. Thank you. It is well!

Looking for friends of my dad, a 45th Infantry Divison World WWII War Hero

Comments: My dad is 85 years old and has just started talking about his WWII experiences in Italy, etc. He spent many horrific months in an Anzio foxhole and fighting for his country and his life in the rain drenched hills of Italy. He gave me the book, "The Rock of Anzio" to read, and I cannot believe he has kept silent all these years. If anyone knows my father, Ted Nadeau, please contact me. He was with the 180th Infantry division, a Thunderbird, and was a National Guard recruit from Chilacco Indian school in Shawnee, Oklahoma. He is my HERO, as are all Veterans who fight to keep us free. Please contact me at jhoar@bellsouth.net

Comments: Re S/Sgt Bob Campbell, formerly of Yorkville NYC looking for old buddies. Many in his outfit were from Oklahoma. A very close friend was from Hawaii.

He recalls seeing young actress Terry Moore entertain with Bob Hope. She wore her famous white ermine bathing suit.

He never talks much about his experiences, although he has a box of medals and decorations.

Bob now lives in S.Florida today, and is 77.

Hospital Records Desired Sandag Castle June 53

Comments: In very early June, 1953, our Company L, 180th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division, was being relieved by, perhaps, the 179th Infantry Division. The truck in which I was riding while leaving the front line at Sandbag Castle was blown off or drove off the cliff and landed about 50 to 75 feet in a gulley. The next morning I was found and taken to a hospital. My question is three fold: (1) To what hospital was I taken; and, (2) how long was I in that hospital; and, (3) what treatments for my injuries were supplied by that hospital? Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated!!!!

A friend of mine from home, Victor Busick, George Company, 180th Infantry Regiment, learned of my condition, "borrowed" a jeep and got me out of the hospital at some point, but when? I haven't a clue how long I was in the hospital.

The date the truck went over the hill was at or near June 1-3, 1953, immediately after the Chinese destroyed our unit.
