Thanks for saving my brother's life

Comments: I would like to thank the heros of the 43rd MASH who saved my brothers life during the Korean War. His name was Darrell Burns and he took a grenade while with a recon behind enemy lines. He received the Silver Star for his efforts to continue to treat the wounded while he was, himself, blown open in the gut from the grenade. My brother December 25, 2008 and will soon be buried in Arlington. I am proud of him. Korea was the beginning and end of many heros. Thanks to them all.

Since posting the pictures, I've tracked down a few people from that era: Gordon Gillespie, Mike Williams, Ricky D. Young, Tony Bosworth, and my replacement, Jim Kardatzky. Would enjoy hearing from others, especially Chong, Chun Sik; Cho, Hu Cha; and Jim Ricketts.

Worked Main Gate

Comments: I arrived @ the 43rd in December 1967 after discharge from the 106th Gen Hosp. in Japan. I was with the 1st Infantry Div. in Vietnam and was wounded on October 17 67. I was still pretty weak and couldn't walk very well,so the 1st Sgt recommended that I work the main gate with the Korean civilians. I was there when they captured the USS Pueblo. I met a lot of good people, but can't remember any names. Came home in July 67.
