LOOKING FOR INFO : ROBERT S. SPOONER |
| CAROLYN SPOONER wrote on March 11, 2009 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: 187TH FIELD ARTILLERY FROM 14TH NY SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Looking for any info or direction about my Father Robert S. Spooner. The only thing I have about his army service is his Unit Heraldic Crest by which I figured out he was in the 187th Field Artillery; based in Brooklyn NY. I think he was in the Army right out of college (Bowdoin) from 1950 - 1953 (Best Guess) As far as I know he was never wounded. He did say once that he was a forward observer. My brother was born in June of 1953 and my Dad did not see him until my brother was 6 months old (which is what gives me an approximate end date.) I'd like to get his records from the national archives but have not found a source for his army serial number. Would really love to hear from anyone who knew him or knew of him. He never spoke of his time in Korea. Thanks for your time. Carolyn Spooner Keywords: Forward Observer "Baptized by Fire" |

SEEKING INFO |
| JASON ALLEN wrote on November 30, 2003 CITY AND STATE: VIENNA VA UNIT: NAVY ROTC/ NAVAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING COMMAND SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Recently when I joined NROTC and decided to set my career path in the military, my grandfather PFC Donald Allen gave me what little he has left of his Korean War memorabillia, and my grandmother told me only what units he may have served in. The 196th Field Artillery Battalion, and of course the 187th Field Artillery Battalion. He presented me with his first Garrison cover, a ribbon that my grandmother gave him the day he deployed, his United Nations Service ribbon, his Korean War ribbon with 2 bronze stars upon it, his lapel insignia, and something that I have never seen before on the uniform of any of my family members: his Presidential Unit Citation. I double checked my Blue Jacket's Manual, and sure enough, that's what it was. As he has sworn never to speak of Korea again, I am seeking to find out what battery he may have been part of, who his brothers in arms were, and any major involvement that others from the unit may have had with him. He spent years of his life in Korea, years that he has never spoken of. In the interests of doing away with the reputation of "The Forgotten War", I would like to find a resource or person from which I can uncover the truths of the ground battle, as ugly as the truths may be. Also in the interests of preserving my family's proud military history as well (serving in wars since WWI), I want to fill in the blanks. If you knew my grandfather, or have any information that may be useful to my search for information, PLEASE contact me through my email addresses (jalle024@odu.edu or midshipmanjcallen@yahoo.com) or on my cellular phone: (757) 581-8345 Fair winds and following seas, Very Respectfully MIDN 4/c Jason Cary Allen HRNROTC/NETC Battalion, Echo Company 1st Platoon, 2nd Squad Keywords: |
