Looking for my Dad's Army buddy

Comments: My Dad is Billy E. Bagwell and he has been looking for his army buddy, Fred Nathaniel Sweetwater from Oklahoma. We have been searching and hoping that we are able to find him or at least his family. Dad's health is not real good and one of his wishes is that he be able to at least have some information on Fred, being able to see him would be the ultimate for him but at least some information would be settling for him. Please email me at tdl_35@hotmail.com if you know him or if you are your loved ones served in the same company as my Dad.

Clarence Smith

Comments: Hi,

Does anyone remember serving with PFC Clarence Smith? He served from 10/30/52 - 8/21/54. He was a light weapons infantryman in the 24 regiment who fought in the Korean War.

He had foreign service in Japan and Korea and was awarded Korean Service Medal with one Bronze Service Star, Combat Infantrymans Badge, Presidential Unit Citation (Republic of Korea), United Nations Service Medal, and the National Defense Service Medal.

Clarence's nickname was Puddin' and he like to gamble a lot and he was from Harlem, NY by way of Danville, VA.

He was about 5'9 and dark skinned.

Please reach out to me if you knew him. I'd like to get some information for a book I'm writing on him.

Thanks, Wakeel wakeel7@yahoo.com

July 1950 Taejon Survivor

Comments: My father, Donald Goble, was stationed in Japan at the beginning of the Korean hostilities. He was sent to Korea in July of 1950 and fought at Taejon during the same month. He says that only 43 of his group of 166 survived. Despite his young age, he was promoted to Master Sergeant. It would mean a lot to him to hear from someone who was in Korea during that time. Please email me if you have any information.

SGT Marion S. Caldwell, Jr.

Comments: My Dad is now passed on, but he was in the Army for 21 years. He served in Germany, Korea, Africa, etc.. He was a medic on the battlefield; was seriously wounded in action by missile shrapnel (sp.?). After recovering, he returned to Duty (Far East Command). I would like to hear from anyone that may have been a comrad. He would not speak much about the different battles he was in, but he did speak of carrying wounded soldiers to safety. I know he witnessed some really gruesome things. I wish he were still here and could join the veterans that are involved with the recent documentary on "The War". I believe he would have finally been able to tell a lot of things now that so many other veterans are able to "let it out." He received several medals, including the Purple Heart. I would have to look up his paperwork to give more information. Just a week before he died of a heart attack (1993), we were all sitting at the dining table having Christmas dinner, talking about what all Dad had been through in his lifetime. While discussing the war and military, one of my brothers asked him, "Dad, if you had it to do all over, would you go through it again?" Never hesitating, he answered, "Yes, son I would." After all my years of growing up, that's when I, his oldest daughter, realized how really proud of my Dad I was. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have known him while in service. He was from Tennessee. A lot of his buddies called him "Sarg". Sometimes they tried to tease him, because he was a "Jr." (Marion Stanley Caldwell, Jr.) Thanks and God Bless the USA.

Eloy Gallegos 24th Infantry Division 34th Infantry Regiment

Comments: My father served with the 24th Infantry Divison in Korea from 1951-1953. He was part of the 34th Infantry Regiment. He was in three battles tehre and I belive was involved in the one of the first ones in Korean and if I'm not mistaken he was moved to another regiment, the 19th I think it was. He is now passed away (Ocotober 31, 2005) and I am in serach of freinds that may have served with him while in Korea or thier families.

His name was Eloy Gallegos aka Loy. He was born and raised in Albequre New Mexico 2-20-31 and would have said he was either from there or possible Watts, California as he moved to California but I'm not sure if it was before or after his time in Korea.

Would love to hear from anyone from 24th Infantry Division, 34th Infantry Regiments, or the 19th and 21st Regiments or their surviving families.

Thanks and good luck to everyone on their seraches!
