JIM CLIFFORD wrote on May 5, 2012 City and State: STANCHFIELD MN Unit: PUSAN FIELD OFFICE, CO B, 502D MI BN Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: Serving in Pusan as a Military Intelligence Coordinator afforded an opportunity to know all of what was going on with the various operations undertaken by our personnel, as well as an occasional spook from C Company. I handled the confidential funds and supplies, as well as all the clerical tasks relating to info gathered by he agents. The interpreters were wonderful guys who were worthy of our trust. The household staff were treasures. I'd love to get in touch with some of the fellows I served with. We lived in Building 440 of Hialeah compound. We all had civilian cover and no curfew applied to us. Black Jeeps and sedans were our vehicles. I knew where the thermite grenades were placed for distruction if the baloon went up, and recall that the evacuation plan involved agents and interpreters being flown to Japan. I would be left behind with the radio man (he operated a radio known, I believe, as an angry 5) I had the keys to the weapons locker. I had the only fatigues and helmet, and an M-14, several .38 colt detective specials, .45's and two grease guns were in the locker. I was to melt into any unit operating in the area as an infantry man. Other preparations won't be mentioned. Pusan was a great place to serve. I rotated and ended up in Minneapolis, where I served until April, 1968. Keywords: Office members recalled: SAIC, Wm Fielder (Major), Ex O, Robert Mills (CPT) Robert Richmond (2dLt). Enlisted: Ed Malpass (SFC), Jack Miller (SFC) John Mocaby (Radio man) Gene Burlew, Stan Maniecki, Dick Reed, Dave Henry.

JAMES H. BONE wrote on September 29, 2011 City and State: VILLA RICA GA Unit: INCHON FILED OFFICE Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: arrived at Kimpo on a hot April day in 1965. settled into the old Japanese mansion on the side of the hill. spent the first month finding my way around and meeting various contacts. The Interpreter assigned to me was Mr. Kim (weren't they all) after about 6 months our AIC decided to move to Young Dong Po, supposedly as a security issue. we moved inside a military compounded, and thought we were fooling everyone because we were running around in an unmarked black jeep in suits. I'm sure the laugh was on us. was there till May 1966, and had lots of excitement. the Nk kidnapped an entire fishing fleet, sent a midget submarine down the Han River, only to have the batteries blow up and it run aground followed by a shoot out, a 28 man detachment tried to infiltrate and several, 6 or 8 got within the Presidential Palace in Seoul, followed by a soot out and a jumpy countryside. just a few of the things that happened. arrived in Korea following a year at the language school, and a6 months at Holibard. must say that was the most interesting time of my life . don't know if anyone from that era is reading but would love to hear from someone. j. bone Keywords:

JOHN LAWLER wrote on June 13, 2011 City and State: PACE FL Unit: 502ND MI BN Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: Our interpreter at the Kunsan Resident Office, during my time with Bravo company, 502nd MI Bn (1970-71), was a former ROK officer during the Korean War, Mr. Kong Tae Won. He was a fine gentleman and a pleasure to work with. Like many of the Korean interpreters assigned to the MI units, they also became good friends, as did Mr. Kong. I kept in touch for a while by mail, but as time went on, our correspondence became less frequent until eventually we lost contact with one another. I am curious if any of the CI agents who came after me at this post may know of what happened to Mr. Kong, or of Mr. Kim who kept the house for us. Keywords: Kunsan Kong Tae Won
