Comments: My father, Sergeant Enrique Zabala Soto, was in Company
D of the 65th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry
Division, in the United States Army. He received a
Bronze Star Medal with Letter V for heroic
achievement. My fathers army (uniform) pictures and
medal were lost following a burglary. I dont know how
long my father was in Korea but know that he was there
in August 1952, the day referenced in regard to the
Bronze Star medal. Please contact me if you have
pictures of Sergeant Enrique Zabala Soto. I would
really appreciate being able to once again have
pictures of my father in his uniform.

Comments: I would like to contact someone who was with the 65th
on the last day of the war.. I was in the trenches on
this day and have never discussed this with anyone
and would like to bring back this day...As it was the
war was over at 10:00 AM, but the shooting did not
stop until 10:00PM. Both sides was firing all heavy
artility and mortars that was available. we received
more incoming in this 12Hr period then any other time
in the war. Ihave never read anything about this 12Hr
period.. At 10:00Pm the firing stopped and all the
lights of north korea were turned on..The lights were
a whole lot closer to us then we ever realized. It
is such a loss the the last 12Hrs KIA and wounded.
My best buddy was hit pretty bad and I took him to
the medical unit for treatment. This was great
showing for the 65th.-----------Thanks Sgt Robert Polk

Comments: Dear Borinqueneers,

It is with great pain in my heart,soul and being that I am notifying you of my father's death. He died on March 19, 2008 waiting for that SOMEONE who knew him,who was there in Korea with him and could testify of his heroism. He was ONLY given the Silver Star because of prejudice and descrimination against Latinos and African-Americans.

ONLY one person recognized my father for his heroism, Brigadier General William W. Harris who wrote in his book, "Puerto Rico's Fighting 65th U.S. Infantry, From San Juan to Chorwan" , page 131, and had the honor to pin the Silver Star on my Dad. My father was even given a Presidental Citation from the President of Korea at the time, Sigmund Rhee, but not even that helped with getting the Congressional Medal of Honor.

ROLL CALL:
Gilberto Calderon
Luis E. Maldonado-Matos
German Oyola
Armando Rosa

WHERE ARE YOU?

Please, if you are still alive, I need
your help to testify for my father's heroism so he can get that Honor and Medal that he very well earned and DESERVES. Does ANYONE REMEMBER or SAW what my father did to save his squad, disregarding his own safety and only given the SILVER STAR? PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STAND UP FOR YOUR BORINQUENEER BROTHER.

I have written to President Bush, only to pass the paperwork along to someone else. The Army said there was no other proof. We flew to El Paso, Texas twice in hopes of getting to talk to Congressman Reyes,unfortunately he was not there those two times but they only noted our wishes and never did anything to help us, yet he supposed to help our veterans.

I wrote to the Inspector General of the Army
and he said the case was "closed". Senator K. Hutchinson was supposed to help us, but "they" wrote back twice with no news. The Congressman of Lewisville, Texas "passed the buck" too. I just don't know who to turn to next.

NOW DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY CALL IT THE FORGOTTEN WAR?

Because NO ONE cares after all these men exposed their lives to fight and keep America Free. My father didn't have to go, yet he chose to quit school and proudly fight for the United States at only 17 years old.

I PROMISED my father on his death bed, that I WOULD GET THE CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR FOR HIM.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS?

Daddy's Little Girl,
Carmen P. Santos de Curran

Comments: My father, Roberto Luis Colo'n (pronounced like Cologne), passed away last April. In the aftermath, I have aquired his discharge papers. These papers answered questions that he would never talk about when I was growing up. I am looking for any Korean War veteran who knew my dad. He served from Sept. of '51 to May of '53. I know that he lost at least one very close friend who died in his arms in combat. (This I learned from my mother years ago.) I just found out for the first time in my life that he was awarded 2 bronze stars, a combat infantryman bandge, and 2 other decorations. If you are a Korean War Veteran who knew my dad (or a child of a vet who knew him) please email me. I would like to learn more of what my father and his comrads went through.

Thanks.
Robert

Comments: I am also a veteran and a proud Puertorican. I served in Korea but, not during the war. My time was during the late 70's. I saw 1st hand the many sites that owr fellow Puertoricans fought and died. It is inportant that the truth about the 65th Infantry Division is told. I love the history channel and see so many stories been told about, Black Americans, Japanees Americans, Jewish Americans and so on. I strongly belive that the history channel do their homework and do a story telling the world about the 65th Infantry Division and the men that fought gallantly and with great honor and pride.

have I become familiar with its extraordinary history during the Korean
War. I am writing a book to honor the memory of the men who fought so
gallantly during that conflict, and would appreciate any information from
any veterans or family of veterans related to that topic. I thank you all in
advance for any information you can provide.
