George L. Brown, K Co.

Comments: I am trying to find information on my father's time served in Korea with the 223rd, K Company, between 1950 and 1952. He didn't like to speak about it, but gave me an album with photos, news articles, letters, maps, name and address lists, etc.

If anyone recognizes his name or knew him (GEORGE L. BROWN), I would really appreciate anyone sharing their memories. He passed away 3 years ago, and this will help me to put this part of his life to rest. How does a daughter go about requesting (or ordering) her father's medals and badges? I don't think he ever tried to obtain them himself.

And finally...where does a person find info on how to decipher his "Report of Separation"? All those acronyms have completely baffled me for years!

All of this information will help me to pass a part of his life history on to my children, his grandchildren. I think it is very important to remember the service of our Veterans, and to pass on their stories....and our gratitude.

THANKS, Linda L. Brown
