Info on 245th

Comments: My Father Floyd L. Stewart passed away 1999 and was a Tank Com in the 245th. He was called back home sometime may to july 1953 for emergency leave as our home was wiped out by a tornado in Georgia. In fact I owe my existence to that tornado. Family lore has it that when he returned to Korea something catastrophic had happened to the 245th in the period of his absense. I am curious to find out more about the 245th during that period and anyone that might remember my father. From what I gathered he ended up running a NCO club for the remainder of the war and was a member of the Color Guard that marched in New York at the end of the conflict.
