We shipped out from Fort Benning, Ga. to Korea in July 1950. I was with the 73rd until November 1951, when I was rotated back to Fort Hood Tex. During my time in Korea, I was a tank driver for 6 months, a gunner for 6 months, and a Tank Commander for the remainder of my tour of duty.Capt. Beaver was my company commander(KIA) at Suwan Korea, while we were attempting to secure the airbase there. John Martin was also KIA at the same time. I spent a total of nine years in the army and decided not to make a career of it when the Vietnam war started. I was discharged in May 1958. Keywords:
