Comments: I am looking for anyone that served in Korea in 1951-1952 in the 25th Infantry that may have known my dad. He recently passed away and I would like to talk to anyone that may have known him. He was the head of the wiremen during that time. I am wanting to compile a book of memories of those who served with him to give to my mother. She is so lost without him and I am thinking that a book of this nature could possibly help her to cope. My dad spoke fondly of so many of the men that he served with, but I just can't seem to remember any of their names. Please, if you remember him, email me with your memories. I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

Looking For WILLIAM L. MILANO

Comments: Comments: I am looking for William L. Milano of The 27th Inf. Regt. 25th Div. I & R. Or anyone that can give me some information about a November 6, 1950 I&R mission which resulted in an ambush. My Uncle, PFC Donald R. Richards was part of this mission, in which he is listed as KIA on this website. I have spoken to Arthur D. Montgomery and he states that he spoke with William Milano last year. I have a list of all casulties and KIA for the27th Inf. Regt. 25th Div. that day and an Associated Press story which depicts an atrocity which occurred that day and my family is very interested to find out the details of that mission. The headline reads "Reds Give Apples to 15 U.N. Soldiers, Murder 14". When my uncle died, my grandmother didn't want the specifics' and my uncle's siblings were too young at the time. His remain's didn't arrive back home for several months' after the family's notification and well after his memorial service. The remaining family survivors' did want and still do want the details of that day if anyone can assist us in anyway. The Army states that Donalds records were destroyed in The St. Louis fire of 1973, which doesn't make this any easier and thus I am forced to reach out to you folks. I realize this is a hard account to have to recall and a lot to ask of anyone who was there, but this is the only resource I can think of. I have found transcripts' of The Senate Committee Hearings' (Senator McCarthy) in which William Milano was interviewed in late 1953 but the information is vague at most and doesn't contain the investigation reports' conducted by The 8th Army Investigation Team looking into the events. A professor I spoke with states that there is a lot more information out there and any assistance I can get will be greatly appreciated. God Bless each and every one of you for your valiant service to this country. All of you are heros' in my eyes and those of my family. America is forever indebted to you all. Thank you, Dean Richards

Looking for anyone who knew Clifford Damron

Comments: Looking for anyone who served with Clifford Damron from Arkansas. Some of what he remembers is 157th Infantry or Battalion Division, 89th Tank Battalion, 24th Battalion, supporting the Turkish Brigade, serving at Hill 1062, Kung Chum Reservoir and a Herbert Holmes from Kentucky. He was in Korea from winter of 1951 to Nov of 1953. He had been wounded and was sent back to the states Nov 53. He is having a lot of health issues from the cold weather and from shrapnel he received when he was shot. Since he records were burned in the fire of St Louis he is having trouble getting the help he needs. From our understanding if he finds anyone who served with him that could prove as documentation. Any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.
