DARYL COLYER wrote on May 24, 2010 CITY AND STATE: LORENA TX UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My father, PFC Herman "Tex" Colyer, served from April 1952 to February 1953 with the 366th EAB. After sixteen or so weeks at Ft Lewis in Washington, he spent a little time in Arizona. Then he was dispatched to Korea on board a naval vessel. The trip to Korea lasted 19 days. Pop said he was so sick of that ship and he could not wait to get ashore. While in Korea, he assisted in various missions such as the construction of air strips and bridges. He was part of a squad of men who were surrounded one night by many enemy soldiers; the firefight lasted several hours. He also had to drive a fuel truck with a corporal to get some fuel where it was badly needed by American soldiers. He remembered that he had to run through the night with the lights off to avoid being seen. Is there anyone out there who remembers my father? He is a great American and is still alive today and is in great shape. He does have trouble remembering names, but he says one of his best buddies was from Minnesota. He remembers the First Sergeant who assigned the night run mission to him; as he recalls the 1st Sgt was from South Carolina and was kind of a small gentleman. Pop has six children, and a dozen grandchildren. He resides in Bruceville, Texas. Please contact me if you know my Pop. Thank you. Keywords: 366th Engineer Aviation Battalion
