Keywords: Hello, Thanks for reading this post. My dad is Frank Manfredo.He had two terms in Korea.I know he was involved with driving an ambulance. I have some paper work and old photos of my fathers friends from the service. My father was living in a subberb of Chicago, Calumet City at the time. He is now living in Bradenton Florida. He would love to hear froom his buddies. I am putting this information up on the internet for him. He was unable to get the special Korean award they gave out a few years ago. His paperwork was in a building that burned down. Can yoou believe the government had no proof he was in Korea? He has photos and also some paperwork and letters to my mom and family. He became so frustrated he gave up on it and said they could keep it.
PS
Two names on the photos were Roy Weathers and Ed Hemer. Ed appears to be about 6'9 ft. tall. He is a head taller than my dad and my dad is about 6 foot. Ed also is a very large man, one you would remember due to his size.
Please email me or write. Thanks for giving your lives for our country. God Bless America. Annette Manfredo Boyle
