Comments: I am looking for anyone who may have known my uncle, Alton Thomas Johnson. He arrived in country on August 26, 1950 and was killed at Mount Sobuk, San, Korea on September 17, 1950. He was 19 years old. He received the Silver Star. He is buried in Arlington Cemetery. The information I have is that the last time someone saw him he was fighting off the Koreans with the butt of his rifle. He had run out of bullets.

27th Infantry Div-25th Tropical Lightning

Comments: Trying to undertsand the above since my father also had the 25th Tropical Lightning Patch on his uniform. I know that the 27th formed into the 25th along with another division and 2 others formed into another.

I'm trying to find anyone who knew my dad either from Boot camp, or the war or was stationed with him. He joined the Army on Dec. 19th 1949 in Missouri I believe. Did boot camp in Kansas possibly. He was stationed in Japan which he has a medal for. Was also stationed at Fort Lewis, Wa., and Fort Lawton, where he was discharged Dec. 9th, 1952. He was in the Korean War, I am assuming with the 25th Div. I am unclear on exactly which unit he was with. My dad passed away in 1987 from Lung cancer.

I am hoping to find people who knew him and also who may be able to help me clear up exactly how his unit is said. He was 17 when he joined the Army and was a short man, about 5'-7". He was shot in both thighs in the Korean War and was evacuted to a hospital in the states. He went back to duty but not the war itself. unclear if the fighting was over by the time he healed or what.

I will need to dig out his DD2 again to find his Military dates. He had a Honorable discharge. Would like to see if there are any Military Records for him but not sure if they could have been destroyed by the fire. I had heard that not all of them were, but after getting his replacemnet medals, they kept the copy of the DD214 for records due to the fire.

ALL INFO is appreciated...........But most of all.

THANK YOU FOR MY FREEDOM!
