Bob Coleman, Co. H, 224th Inf. Regt. Korea

Meri Bullock wrote on 2009-01-06 12:25:27.0

Comments: I'm trying to put together a shadowbox of my husband's late grandfather from his time in the Army. CPL Robert "Bob" Coleman was assigned to active duty from 18 Nov 1952 to 17 Nov 1954. My husband and I believe he went to basic at Ft. Jackson. In Korea, he served with Co. H, 224th Inf. Regt., 40th Inf. Div. We have copies of letters home and pictures of him and his buddies, including Don Cook from Darlington, PA, and a man named Bloom, among others. His ship passed by Japan on the way to Korea. I'm having a hard time finding the patches he wore throughout his time in the Army and was wondering if anyone knew of a place I could order them. I've scoured military shops in the Ft. Bragg area as well as e-bay and am having a hard time finding any. I am able to identify 2 of the 3 he once wore on his uniform (the Ball of Fire of the 40th Inf. Div. and the 224th crest.) The patch I can't identify must have been the patch from his place of separation, Ft. George Meade, as it is currently on his uniform. It is a red shield with a gold border, 2 gold A's, and a gold tree-looking thing or lightning bolt down the middle of the A's. I'm also looking for the blue "Korea" tab that he wore above the Ball of Fire patch, which I think I've found on e-bay, in a picture. Any help would be very appreciated! My husband was very close with his grandfather, and I'd very much like to complete the shadowbox for him. Also, if anyone knew Bob and has any stories, my husband and I, along with his family, would love to hear them. Thank you for any help!
