He claims it was due to his typing skills. He now has Alzeimers and it is difficult to communicate with him.

Correction Hoyt Cocke cpl. 279th G

Comments: I am trying again on this site. I had incorrectly cited the 179th as my father's (Hoyt Cocke's) regiment. It turns out that the 279th was the correct unit. I am trying to find any information about his service and that of the 279th during the Korean War. If anyone knew my father or can give me information, anecdotes, recollections or documentation I would be forever grateful. My father passed away in 2001. He was wounded on June 22, 1952. He always spoke with a great deal of pride about the Thunderbirds and their service in Korea. God bless you all!

Korean War 45th Div. 279th Infantry/Comp F/2nd Battalion

Comments: Bruce Lackey (Now 81yr)trained in Camp Polk, LA. He lost a tooth during training camp, but details unknown. In his company F, Bruce was known as Abe because of his resemblance to Abe Lincoln.

Bruce left for Korea March of 1951. The 279 infantry first went to the northern mountains of Japan for extensive training for 6 plus months, then on to Korea. The stories known to us are that his battalions were there for relief efforts & hit the front lines immediately, taking large causalities. Only 1-3 solders survived the early onslaught. No one else from the High Point local NC area survived. Bruce remained on front line combat from Korea Fall/Winter 1951 thru Early Winter 1952. He left Korea October 1952. Some 40-50 yrs later, Bruce received a letter from an old war buddy ????? thanking my father, Bruce for staying with him while he was injured & taking fire. Bruce stayed & ensured the safety of this soldier, while under fire waiting for the medic chopper.

My dad suffers from Alzheimers. Would love to hear any related stories or connect with any old buddies.

K Co. 179th Regt Dec 51 to May 52

Comments: Spent almost 6 months in Hokido training -then to Korea to replace the 1st Cav. Moved to the MLR on Christmas day in the snow. My platoon later brought in the first Chinese while on patrol -Sgt Rex terminated them so the general didn't get to question them. Someone cut the ears off several of the dead. Spent 41 days on the line before we got to get hot showers. I had a good group of men and I wonder where they all ended up in life. My first platoon Sgt Robert Pierce came to Corpus Christi a year or two ago to Bird Watch and called me so we had breakfast and a visit. My next platoon Sgt Leroy K Olson was also a fine soldier and Ive not heard from him since '52 when I was evacuated due to wounds. Our company came from Enid Oklahoma. I was assigned from a pool of officers who graduated fromTexas A$M University in June 1950 (when the war started) A month after I left the regiment was in a fierce fight on T-bone hill and many WIA and KIA. I would like to know how my men came through that. The only ones I've talked to were National Guardsmen and they were phased out just before the battle. If anyone knows somthing about that I'd appreciate hearing. Ive been to two reunions and those were great- I'm getting a little old to be going (81). The 45th is a great Division.

I am very proud of my father as well as everyone else out there who serves their country. My father would proudly do it again. I just found out that many soldiers who served at that time did not receive at least two to three medals as well as commemorative medals that were later added after the Korean War. Please Contact the National Personnel Records Center, 9700 Page Ave, St. Louis, MO 63132 or go online and google these medals as well as Certificates that you may also be entitled to. Thanks!

My aunt Sallie still talks about him. It seems he was a great man with high morale values. He had a tough time as a Negro in the south and in the US Army at the time. Unfortunately, he was not married not did he have any children. Records state that he was born in 1930 which made him 23 at time of death but my aunt swears he was 16 years old at time of death. Supposedly, he easily forged his date of birth to serve his country which was seemingly easy to do during those times and especially for a negro. I hope he received the right recognition.

I am a school teacher and have had many of these veterans in my class as guest speakers. They have all made a dramatic impact upon my students.

Thanks to all of our veterans,

Sincerely, Stewart Portela

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.

Black hair, thin at the time, brown eyes, moderately tall,crooked teeth, Causian- Would have spoken with a Southern Accent since born in Celina, TN.

Father Relocated to Thomaston GA, Upson County and married wife (Micki Washam)January 14 1956 or 1957.

Not Forgotten . . .

Comments: Believe it or not, there are still those of us out there that remember and respect the sacrifice that was made for us, as a nation,during our war in Korea. My father was a Captian in the 45th Infantry Division during the Korean Conflict,(Cpt. Jack E Powell)Because his unit was activated he never even got to see his firstborn until she was ONE! He and I have never really talked about the war but he knows I love him without him and all our servicemen there would not be a United States of America!May God bless and keep us all safe in these tragic times. . .

Taken from a document for the Award of The Silver Star.

Sergeant First Class John W. Carlson, RA12249442, Infantry, United States Army, distinguished himself by gallantry in action against an armed enemy near Pau-gol, Korea. During the early hours of 18 July 1953, an intense enemy mortar and artillery barrage shelled the area of a heavy mortar company in conjuction with a gigantic attack against Allied positions, etc.

In anyone is interested in the rest of the letter I will continue--just email me.
