Robert F. Caty

Comments: My father Robert F. Caty died last month. He grew up in Boston.Only after his death did we know the details of his participation in Korea. When he was alive he only spoke of how cold it was. I would like to know if anyone can remember serving with him and would like to know if there is an accounting of the activities of his unit somewhere. He was like so many of our veterans - did his duty for his country and returned without the need for recognition or fanfare.

Comments: My husband joined the 223rd in Korea and served as Exec Officer under then Colonel Louis Truman. I should like to hear from anyone who remembers serving with im. Shortly after his book "About Face" was published we met with Dave Hackworth and had an interesting visit. My husband and Dave had very different views of the regimental personnel. Martin remained on active duty, having been integrated into the Regular Army in 1957. He retired in 1968, enjoyed almost 30 years of retirement when he died in June 1997.

Friends of Blaine H Johnson

Comments: I would appreciate hearing from anyone who served with my brother, Blaine H Johnson in England, France, Germany 1941-1945 or Korea 1950-51-52 or knew him at Camp Cooke,California. He never talked about his service and married after he was out. His daughters never knew about his service at all. I imagine he would have been quite a bit older than those he served with in the Korean area. Thank you for any information you may have. Thelma La Pontic

The missing finger

Comments: I joined the 223d Heavy Tank Company in August 1949 (at the ripe old age of 15). I lived in Baldwin Park and had to either hitch-hike or walk down the railroad tracks every Monday night to El Monte to get to the Armory for the weekly unit get-togethers. My Mother allowed me to go to Camp Cooke in September, 1950, when the 40th was added to the Federal military, but later decided that I was too young to go to Korea so she wrote to the C.O. and told him that he should send me home, which he did, in January, 1951, so I missed the trip to Sendai and Korea.

I seem to recall an incident when we were at Camp Cooke (now Vandenberg AFB).

A crew from our unit checked out a tank on a Saturday or Sunday (which we could do as long as we had a full crew). This crew went out into the boonies and evidently were stopped by some police who were looking for two escapees from the Federal Pen there at Lompoc. Our illustrious crew decided to help the police find these miscreants. Don't recall who, but one of the crew was in the "bogie" seat (right seat, down front) standing up on the seat, his left hand on the gun tube and his right hand on top of the open hatch, and the story has it that they hit a small sapling, which bent over and then snapped back, hitting the guy's hand in such a way as to either totally, or partially, cut off one of his fingers. It was rumored that they stopped their hunt for the criminals. Just learned about the reunions being held and plan on coming to the one in 2005. I really don't recall any names other than the First Sergeant (Galceran) and the C.O. (Thompkins).

I enlisted in the Air Force in Jan , 1952 and ended up as a "lifer" retiring in 1973, with 22+ years of combined service.
