My Dad

Comments: I'm looking for anyone who might have known my dad, Cpl.William "Billy" Brand from South Dakota. Dad served in Korea from June '52 to July '53. My grandkids will never meet their great grandfather, but I'd like to have them know more about him and would like to learn more myself. Dad didn't talk about Korea. I spent over 30 years as a law enforcement investigator and kept too much to myself...at first. But I wanted my kids and grandkids to know me better. It's the least I can do for my dad as well. ghostwriter2@cableone.net www.lorenbrand.com

Lt.Edward T.Leach

Comments: My father was Lt.Edward T.Leach (O1688455). my sister and I know that he was in actions at Wonsan on 12/9/50 and Tunjon on 2/14/51, because of the orders for decorations he received at those places. We know that he died on 11/1/51 at Pak's Palace. We know little of the circumstances, however, surrounding his capture, time as a POW, or death. He was a member of the 3rd Infantry Division, 3rd Reconnaissance Company, and was in tanks at some point in Korea. Previous to Korea he was in the 101st Airborne in WWII, was a Sgt. then, was discharged, and renlisted shortly before Korea began. If anyone happened to know our father or has information about him, your recollections would be welcome. We have tried to find information from the VA, but apparently his records were destroyed in a fire sometime in the seventies. Thank You, Connie Coleman and Debbie Getz.
