Comments: Looking for anyone who may have served with my father Cpl. Edward Kreis during the Korean War. Unsure of the exact unit he was with, just that he was with a 105mm Howitzer group. If the name sounds familiar please feel free to contact me. Regards.

Keywords: Hello - I am the daughter of a 625th Field Artillery veteran named Angelo (Ange or Angie) E. Battistelli. Dad was upgraded from Private to Deputy Sergeant on Sept. 17t 1952. His certificate was signed by a Louis R. Van De Velde (Lieutenant Colonel). Dad was in Korea for two years. We are hoping there may be others out there that will remember him. Dad is doing fine at 79 and we would really really love to hear from any veterans who served with him or their family members. Hope to hear from you (phone #313-850-1150). Best regards, Karen Battistelli Wood

Comments: I collect war letters, diaries, and slide photos. I just bought 24 slides photographs that were shot by a member of 625th field artillery. One slide has a bunch of those guys posing with a shell. The shell is painted with the inscription "625th field artillery. 5,000th" sound familiar? any of you guys remember commemorating the occasion of the 5,000th shell shot? also, the slides include photos of a VIP visiting a camp. I dont know for sure, who the VIP is. was it secretary of state dean acheson?

My "Bride" of 41 years has suggested we try to get to Washington

pictures she has seen. Said it was about time Koreran Vets got their 
recognition!
