Entry: 73866 724TH ORDNANCE MAINTENANCE CO	DOCUMENTARY ON LETTERS FROM THE KOREAN WAR
PHIL MILLER wrote on March 10, 2010 City and State: LOS ANGELES CA Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: About a year ago, my mother sent me a package that had over 50 letters that my dad and his brother had written home to their dad while they were serving during the Korean War. My father Charley Miller, served in the Army at 724th Ordnance Battalion in the 24th Division. I was pleasantly surprised that although they were written almost 60 years ago, they were very contemporary and could have been written last week. I was also intrigued at how often they would write, sometimes every 2 or 3 days. The details in the letters while intriguing, are unfamiliar to me. From complaining about Ordnance inspections by Chinese Nationalists and Uncle Ziggy's agitations to tales of R and R at the Gajoen Kanko (Guy-Joe-Inn) and bartering for Cokes with the Colombian battalions. The film will use the letters my Dad and his brother wrote as the cornerstone. I am hoping to add interviews with veterans to expand in detail on the common themes and stories that are found in those letters. If you are interested in participating in this new project, sharing stories , photos or information please emai Keywords: 724th Ordnance Battalion, Guy joe Inn, Sgt Wild Bill, Charley Miller, Letters home, Communications Tent
