Help Needed from Fellow Riflemen

Comments: Fellow Riflemen of the 45th Infantry Division: You and I paid too high a price to allow our government to run rough-shod over us, our children, and our grandchildren, but as with all of you, I thought for some time there was little additional I could do. I was wrong. By age, education and background, I can be Governor of the State of West Virginia. When I am elected I will serve as Governor of the State of West Virginia in an honorable manner. I will serve as you and I served long ago: with dignity, honor and integrity - at which point the corruption will end. I need with your help to achieve this goal. A very strong, militant Mafia-type political structure exists in West Virginia. It has been that way for decades. It is a difficult nut to crack. I need your help to crack it. I need help in gathering over 15,000 signed petition forms. Will you help? You and I can change the corrupt government of West Virginia, thereby benefiting every citizen in the State, their children and grandchildren. As with many of you, I had to leave West Virginia just to get a job, get some training, get something other than Wheeling Bill Lias' Mafia activities. THE GOVERNMENT OF THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA SHOULD COYNE OPERATED. Please visit my web site: www.coyne-assoc.com. Please contace me with your offer to help. I can do this job easily, but I cannot do it alone. We stood together 50+ years ago for a reason, for a cause. Please stand with me now! With your help we can and will win this fight. Thank you, Cpl. Thomas J. Coyne Jr., 24 13-th Street, Wheeling, West Virginia 26003 (US52221059).

I am just now getting info from him regarding his Korea experience and he has told me he would like to re-connect with anybody he served with. I posted a similiar message on the 180th Inf Reg site as well as this. I have given him several books over the last couple of years on the war and it has jogged his memory quite a bit. I will get more info from him and post updates. Thank you very much for the sacrifices all the vets have given over the years. I read that 1,000 WWII vets a day are dying in the U.S so I figure Korean War vets must be coming close to that. God Bless you all, Eric J. McCusker

Did anyone serve with Richard J. Gainor

Comments: I don't really know anything about my father's time in Korea. I want to know more or learn more about it. He never talked to me about it and died when I was a freshman in high school in 1998. I am now looking for someone who knew him. I do not know years he served or where. His name is Richard Gainor and at the time he was either from Rhode Island or Massachusetts. All I remember are references to the thunderbirds and him talking about the cold which makes me think he served in one of the winters. Any recollection would be appreciated.

Looking For Anyone Knowing Craig M. Brown Served Korean War

Comments: Hi, I'm looking for anyone who may have known a Craig M. Brown from Ft.Thomas, KY. He fought in Korea sometime beteween 1951&53. I know he knew a guy named Roger Gormley I think and a Korean named or nicknamed Skoshi.

He died Jan. 1st 2000. At least he got to see his grandson and the new millenium. He never talked much about it but I was, and still am fascinated by his service.

I think I remember him saying something about Christmas Hill. He was wounded once in the hand. I think he also went to OTS. He made it to Sgt. but a "weasley"(his words),Lt. or Capt. was asking for a punch in the mouth afer much time fighting at the front. He obliged, and left proudly as he entered, a Private FIRST CLASS. If anyone knows Craig M. Brown and has any stories I'd love to hear them and relay them to the grandson he'll never know.

Thanks, Mitchell Brown

Comments: My father served in the Korean War with the 45th Infantry Division. He is dead now and he is my hero. I could never tell him this when he was alive and He could never talk about what really happened there.

I didn't know him before I was born. But I know the war changed him. War changes people. When one is changed, all persons that they touch are also changed. WAR touched me without me ever being close to it.

My father is Victor Macuga. Any information about him and his experiences would be very well welcomed.
