Jose Cruz wrote on 2009-11-27 15:58:46.0

Comments: My father served in the Korean war and my understanding is that he also was at Pork Chop Hill. I was only 8 years old when he passed away so I never had the privilege to talk to him about his war experience. Was wondering if you might have met him. His name was Jose Angel Cruz, also know as "Gelo", pronounced as "Helo" and he was born in Cidra, PR but was living in the San Juan area (Rio Piedras or Santurce) at the time he was drafted. Unfortunately I have no other information about him, but would like to get his military record if possible.
