Fredrick J Kramer

Comments: Dad was wounded 30 July, 1951 He was a triplet serving in Korea with brothers John and Henry. As they have all passed on now, I never knew where he was when he got hit. The only thing he ever said was his experience in the boy scouts saved his life and got him down the hill. If anyone knew of this I would be honored to hear the story.

LOOKING FOR ANYONE WHO SERVED WITH

Comments: Looking for anyone who had served with my father Daniel F. Calley from Turtle Creek, PA during the Korean War. He was with Company B, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. He is 81 years old, and can't remember any names of men that served in combat with him. My mother was a POW of the North Koreans and than became a POW of the USA (Russian Decent). My mom worked at the Swedish Army Hospital in Pusan, where she met my dad who was a wounded solider; and they eventually married while in Korea.

Reynaldo Acosta-2nd Infantry Div./38th Infantry Regiment

Comments: Hello I am trying to track down anybody who served in Korea with my father-in-law, Reynaldo E. Acosta might have about his activities in Korea before and during his time of capture.

For whatever reason, he departed ways with his wife and daughter in 1973 (when my wife was 9). She had very little contact with him since and knows nothing about his service in Korea other than what we have recently discovered.

He passed away May 6, 2008 (which we only recently discovered) at the same time we learned we had previously been searching for info based on the name he went by, Eduardo, and not Reynaldo.

I have since discovered he was in the 2nd Infantry Division/38th Infantry Regiment and possibly either A or B company. I even found a post made by him on this site nine years ago (where he mentions A and B companies).

I have also learned he was captured by Chinese forces on May 18, 1951 (I assume during the "May Massacre") and freed Sept. 9, 1953; that he is quoted in the book "Broken Soldiers;" and that he was awarded the Silver Star.

I would be grateful to establish contact with anybody who knew and served with him in Korea...either before or during capture.

Thanks in advance,

--Mike
