Keywords:

Comments: Even though my father passed away in 1991, reading your newsletter and hearing about other veterans experiences brings me much comfort and in a round-a-bout way keeps my father alive. My father did not speak of his experiences while in Korea and for obvious reasons that I now understand. I'm sure being a sniper (or any war veteran) left a person fighting with their own personal morals and beliefs. To fight for your country whether here or abroad is the ultimate act of courage, loyalty and pride. I'm very proud of all our veterans.

Kenneth Cates

Comments: Looking for anyone who served with my uncle Kenneth Cates from El Dorado, AR. He was wounded 3-5-52, and returned to service after recovering. Uncle Ken died in '75 when I was 2, so I didn't get a chance to know him. I'm sure there are several vets out there who supplemented their income with Uncle Ken's money, as he was known to enjoy a good game of cards while he was over there.
