Comments: On Koje Do Island while walking at night with three
others in Dec. 1951 we were attacked by a group of
guerrillas and I was stabbed in the right hand by one
of them. I was treated at an aid station close by. I
was the only Sioux Indian in the 453rd. They called
me Chief. I never received a Purple Heart and now
have little use of that hand. If you recall this
incident please contact the Veterans Service Officer
in Hot Springs, SD at 605-745-5146 or email to
veterans@gwtc.net. Thank you.

Korea was transferred to communications. I remember
him visiting with another vet. from the area (Anthony

Comments: One of the tragedies of war is the lie about what happens when it ends. The Hollywood myth that the soldiers who were in the same outfit continue to know each other and talk to each other is just plain bull shit. Actually, it becomes very lonely after a war. One would think that any experience as intense as serving during a war, an experience that never leaves one alone for the rest of their life, would be filled with innumerable discussions with his “buddies”. This is the way the movies portray it, isn’t it? I am 72 years old and in all that time I have never recognized the name or description of any soldier I served with. Judging by the messages on this site neither has anybody else. After a war it’s like a being one rock in a handful of rocks hurled on a beach from the top of a hundred foot cliff. The military should have some established way for soldiers to easily keep in touch with one another, if they choose to. It should be an automatic part of the optional benefits of having been a soldier – being able to share experiences in a way that is convenient, accurate, and supportive. I believe every soldier must have questions about their service that will remain unanswered unless they can speak with others who were there.
