His sister had no recollection of my dad serving, but he always told me he did. He said any evidence of his serving in Korea was probably burned up in a fire at the NARA facility in St. Louis. While I've found some bits and pieces, an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army in 1946 from Fort Ord, I haven't found out anything about his service in Korea.

PAUL MILLER wrote on July 26, 2008 City and State: SOUTHAVEN MS Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My stepfather, a Korean War Veteran who served with the 45th Infantry Division in Korea from the day they stepped foot on Korean soil until late 1952, passed away July 20th, 2008 from pancreatic cancer. His name was Edward Rogers, and was from the Covington and Mason areas of Tennessee. I am attempting to write about his experiences, and the experiences of the men he served with. He wouldn't talk about his experiences with us. I know he served with the 45th Military Police, but I am not sure what unit of 279th Battalion of the 45th ID he served with before being transferred to MPs. We only know that he served prior to becoming an MP. If you have pictures you would like to share with me, journals of you experiences, or anything you feel would contribute to this massive project concerning the history of the 45th MP CO and 279th Infantry Regiment I intend to undertake, please contact me. Anything you would like to submit, whether you think it great or small, would be greatly appreciated and of a big help. Sincerely, Paul B. Miller Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
