Task Force Smith-A Co,1st Bn, 21st Inf Reg, 24th Inf Div

Comments: I have reason to believe my fathers company was part of "Task Force Smith". My father was badly injured between July and December of 1950. He received a Silver Star and a Purple Heart. I do not know the basis in which he received his Silver Star. He was hospitalized first in Pyong-yang and later at Seoul. I do not know the exact nature of my dad's injuries. He did have many scars from schrapnal. I do know that in December 1950, he called my grandparents in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, telling them that he would be taking a train to Pusan to the port of embarkation so he could come home on medical leave.

If you knew my father I would love to hear from you. My father passed away 11 September 2004. He shared many stories with me but there were some he did not. Such as where he was injured, why he was given the Silver Star. He did mention that he lent a buddy of his $80.00 so he could go home and get married to his sweet heart.

I have many letters my father wrote from his fox hole. I was truely blessed to have had the honor to have such a wonderful father. I joined the Army because of my father. I retired in November 2004 after 22 years as a CW2. My father had seven children. Three from his first marriage and two sets of twins from his second marriage. I am the oldest of the twins born in 1964.

Again if you knew my dad some of his buddies called him "Dick" send me an email or letter. I would love to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Grace H. Taylor US Army, Ret.

CPL Winford A. Shilling

Comments: My Daddy, Winford A. Shilling died March 21,2005. He served in the 21st Regiment, 24th Division Company K, and was the first ones to go to Korea in July of 1950. While there he was awarded the Distinguised Service Cross, Bronze and Silver Star, and Combat Infantry Medal.

He got Hepatitis while there. It took 55 years but it finally killed him. Just one more casualty of the Korean War.

Daddy told me that he use to worry that he would not go to Heaven because he killed so many men. He also told me that things happend while he was there that he could not explain, but he knew God was watching out for him. The memories of the Korean War tortured him until the day he died. I know he is in a better place and is finally at peace.

I loved him so.
