Comments: My grandfather was named Thomas Edwin Greek and he was in the Korean
War from 1951 - 1953, was a cook from what I last heard, not sure how
much action he was involved with though. I'm researching genealogy
and just as I was about to get info on his time in Korea he passed away in
Sept 2009. I wanted to see (a huge long shot) if anyone knew him, has
stories, just anything I guess as I start to piece together locations of
photos I have and what his life was like there.

After the war he became a masonry man and worked construction, cement
work, etc.

Like many Korean War veterans, Dad maintained a 'code of silence' about his time there, although he occasionally let slip a few details: being holed up under friendly fire, administering placebo instead of morphine due to risk of overdosing the wounded, walking single file always to avoid landmines. I have several pictures he took, including a view from one of the hills overlooking the Punchbowl.

I am trying to put the pieces of his life together, but I am having no luck. During his life, he often spoke of his military life, but I never had much interest to listen. Now that he's gone, I realize that I should have paid attention, and I am full of regrets. If anyone has any information, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Comments: This message is in regards to one left by Charles (Bud) Santi. Although his message was left in 2003 I just stumbled upon it and was hoping that he still checked and seen if there were any updates. Bud if you do see this my name is Amy Kamphey. I am the grand daughter of Francisco Valvo of Buffalo, NY who served with your father in the Korean War. I am positive that it is the same man that you speak of. I wish I would have stumbled upon the message sooner as in 2003 when it was posted my grandfather was alive and well and always looking to contact men he fought with. Unfortunately however my grand father did pass away in July of 2007. I still have access to all his memorabilia including dozens of pictures. I welcome anyone who has any information or knew my grandfather to contact me. My grandfather, Francisco Valvo, was a purple heart and silver star receipiant. He is mentioned in a few books as he was a hero. There were also comic books created based on him. I believe that they were called Corporal Valvo but could be wrong on the title. If anyone has any information regarding him or has a copy of one of the comic books please do not hesitate to contact me as I have never been able to get a hold of one. His brother had them and has since become deceased.

He was a Radio Operator, 5th RCT, Punchbowl sector. He was deployed with X Corps and was attached successively to the 25th, 40th and 45th Infantry Divisions, I believe. Towards the end of the war, his unit was overrun during "Hold At All Costs" initiative at Outpost Harry and so many were lost. If you served with him, or have information you might share with me if you made his acquaintance, I would be most grateful. God Bless You all. You remain always in my prayers of gratitude for your devotion, courage and bravery.

Comments: PVT. JOSE GEORGE VIGIL was born on Jan. 6, 1932 in Penasco, New Mexico. He was the younger brother of my mother and therefore, my "Uncle". I first met him in 1949 while on vacation to my grandmother's home in Penasco, New Mexico.They had a small ranch with all the farm animals you would expect to find and which left me with many fond memories. I rode my first horse with the help of my Uncle George, being only 6 years old at the time, left a lasting memory.
I am very proud to of had a brave Uncle who paid the supreme price for what he believed in. I have, I do and I will always miss him.
