Comments: Hello,

My father was 1st-Class Sgt. Joseph Thomas Krieger
(1932-2003). He was born and raised in New Albany,
Indiana. In 1948, he joined the U. S. Army at age
16, and took his basic training at Ft. Knox,
Kentucky. He spent a little over 26 years in the U.
S. Army and retired in 1973 at White Sands Missile
Range, New Mexico. According to an outline which he
wrote out before his death in 2003, he listed that he
served in Korea from July of 1950 to November of
1951. I have some photos of him when he served in
Korea. There is a possibility that he was a staff
Sgt. during his time in Korea, but I'm not for sure.
An insignia on his army uniform appears to show 73rd
Armored Division. He was wounded and returned to the
United States. I would like to confirm if the 73rd
was the division which he served in. I can send
copies of photos as attachments if this would assist
anyone that may have known him. I hope that someone
can help. Would enjoy hearing from someone.

Thank you,
Anna Walker

I am trying to put together a shadow box for him. He is also going through a very tough time and I'm sure hearing from an old buddy would lift his spirits.
