Comments: Daniel F Alvarado served with the B-Company, 2nd
Battalion, 31st Regiment, 7th Division in 1975-May
1976 when he was killed in a car accident. I have
had a request from the family to see where a military

training at Fort Polk LA in 1975 and then to Fort Ord
with the 2/31 B Company. I would like some
information on how one would go about helping them
obtain his picture.

Comments: Hi, all - My father, Harold N. Jensen, arrived in Korea
as a PFC in the first half of 1953 from the 7th
Infantry Division, and I believe was transferred
locally to the 31st, where I think he participated in
the 10 June - 18 June siege in defense of Outpost
Harry. It was on 11 June 1953 that he was awarded his
Combat Infantry Badge, and was part of a unit
(currently unidentified to me) that later received a
Distinguished Unit Citation (also Presidential Unit
Citation), which I believe may have been awarded for
this very same first night of combat at Outpost Harry.
The DUC/PUC was probably awarded 6 days after his DD-
214 release papers were typed up in September 1954, and
so show no such award; official records of this
incident may have burned in the 1973 fire. He has the
gold-framed PUC ribbon, but no original paperwork.

I would be extremely grateful if anyone here might have
some information on this event, and I would be
especially excited if anyone recalls my Dad from this
time. To all the veterans here, we are grateful for
your service and wish you all the very best. Thank you
- Bruce Jensen and Family

Comments: My Father, Glenn Carter was just 20 yrs. old when he was shot in Hellfire Valley on Nov. 30, 1950. He was briefly taken captive, but someone saw his head wound and didn't think he'd survive, so he escaped with my father. We never knew the name of this man. My father was a Pvt. and a machine gunner. He was 6'2" with real curly brown hair and green eyes (very handsome). He was also at Letterman Hospital from Jan 1951-June 1952 when he was given a full medical discharge. He had a wound to his frontal lobes so he raised a lot of ruckus at Letterman hospital drinking and getting into fights. Perhaps someone knows him from there.

I was gunner on 60 mortar. Arrived 3 days after a major

in that battle and lost large numbers of men.

I was fortunate to have missed that one.
Everything was quiet immediate upon cease fire.
