Comments: Camp McNair. 1968-70 Commo Section. Worked the message
center when I got there, went up to Camp Sitman for
ACTA, and Imjin Scout training (some interesting
memories up there in the Zone), came back and became
the Sgt. in charge of the Message Center! Extended for
7 months so I could get the early out. So I spent quite
a bit of time there. Actually kind of liked Korea, and
my time spent there, and it really helped me straighten
my life out, and get a education when I got out. Had
some good friends & good times, all things considered,
LOL! Anyone still out there I spent time with, feel
free to contact me. Especially interested in finding a
Sgt. Thomas Boulding, (from Chicago) who shared a hooch
with me, and became a good friend! Anyway was just
reminiscing a bit (since It's Veterans Day), and
thought, Ahhh Why Not, LOL! Good site for doing that I
guess.

Comments: Camp McNair, 1969 - 1970 Metro Section CW4 Rhodes, SFC Mohanda,
Spl 6 James, section team - Brad, Fugi, Dana, myself (Fred), radio
operators, Leroy, Mike, Steve, OJT section team - Roy & Ray and the two
Katusa and all of the men at Camp McNair in 1969 - 1970. Our section
ran Meteorology for the Batteries of 2nd Div Artillery and pulled Wind
Chill Factors at Camp Greaves for the Infantry Winter of '69 - '70. My
thanks to those men for sharing their NCO Club of Camp Greaves
during the winter. After Camp McNair I was assigned to the XVIII Air
Borne Corp Div Arty at Fort Bragg with Russ Tolles and a number of the
guys who went to Vietnam in 1969 - 1970 as we finished out our
enlistment at Fort Bragg. Those camps we maned during our tours in
Korea are now maned by ROKs. I would like to say hello after 40+ years
of life of any memories you care to relive with me again. I am involved
with a national veterans organization here in North Texas, VFW, DAV
and I ride with the Lone Star Chapter 23-1 of Combat Veterans
Motorcycle Association - "Veterans Helping Veterans". We will not
allow the disrespect of our troops as it was of our brothers and sisters
of the Vietnam era. I solute those members of all our branches active
duty military, reservists, national guards and fellow veterans for service
to the United States of American. In fond memories to all those who we
have served with and paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom in the line
of duty.

Hi?

My name is D.I.Choi in Inje County -Local government Office. I am the one in charge of International cooperation.
First of all , I personally thank your fighting for the freedom of Inje County, South Korea, My project is to find the soliders who are deeply related in LivingStone Bridge in Inje so I will let the people in Inje know the exact story about Livingstone Bridge. The story that i know go as follow. If you don't know the Bridge ,Please ask your combat soliders or someone who might know. My email address is doncd@naver.com or call 82-11-7309-7319
thank you very much.


Livingstone Bridge- Heros were died but they are remembered forever.




Inje County, Gangwon Province, Republic of Korea is looking for Mr. Livingstone's family and his combat soldiers who fought for the freedom and died at an away from home. Inje County is planning to celebrate the 48 the anniversary of Livingstone and commemorate the heros in Korean War so that the monument is erected and the people living here try to hand their name down to future generations.




It has been almost 50 years since the Bridge was constructed.

This is the Bridge linking Deoksan-ri to Hapkang-ri in Inje County,Gangwon-Province, Republic of Korea.




In Korean War, 1951, during U.S-Korea joint military operation, A battalion commander, Livingstone(not known his full name) retreated strategically. But river's flood resulted from a sudden shower made it impossible to cross the river so

that the artillery battalion had a lot of damages by falling into North Korean and chinese ambush. Many soldiers were died and a lot of military equipments and supplies were lost. The Lieutenant Colonel, Livingstone(Not sure) was severely wounded.




Later He was died at a field hospital. Before he died he lamented bitterly " If there had been a Bridge, our forces not only would not have damaged but also could have winned that battle". He left the Will that was an earnest request saying "If I die , have my wife build a Bridge with private funds at Inje County, the battle field".




After the cease fire agreement, U.S and Korean Army built the Bridge, length 150m, width 3.6m, on Feb. 4,1957. They named the bridge "Livingstone Bridge".

The people living here at Inje County used that bridge very well and always appreciated for him and his combat soldiers who fought for Korea.




In 1970, Inje County rebuilt the bridge with iron concrete and put the name Living Stone Bridge thanks to his self-sacrificing sprite. Inje County erected a monument in memory of the late Mr. Livingstone and his combat soldiers by the side of the bridge
