Comments: I was assigned to the 808th in 1948 after Basic Training at Lackland AFB. I later transferred to another outfit. I understand the 808th went to Okinawa first and then Korea. I am looking for a good friend who I enlisted with and was with the 808th. I heard that he was discharged due to being underage (16) and sent home. He apparantly later reenlisted in the Regular Army and was with the 15th Field Artilliary in Korea and is MIA. His name was Kenneth P. Darden. Seeking any info on him. Email: Ldalewhip@aol.com

Comments: I am the son of Korean War U.S. Army veteran Charles G. Jochum Jr. who passed away in 1983. I am interested in contacting members of his unit to learn more about his service years as I was only 20 when he died and didn't have the foresight to ask about it when he was alive. He was in Korea from 2-Dec-52 until 1-Oct-53. A name of one of his Army buddies that I recall is Red Norris.

Hello, I am looking for anyone who knew my dad during his tour in
Korea.

I have little to no good info in this area. He passed on in 1985. He
never shared his experience. I know he had a close buddy, WILLIAM
SPRING, from his unit. All help from you, the VETERANS, will be greatly
appreciated.

SINCERELY

Finding John Dillon

Sun, 20 Sep 1998 
From:  Roseanne Choi Email address
Subject: Looking for someone in the 808 Engineering Company

I am searching for someone on behalf of my father, who is a refugee of
the Korean War.  During 1952 and 1953 he was located near the Kun San
air base and made friends with a man by the name of John J. Dillon. 

This man was working with the air force in radio repair and
communications although he was in the army.  My father's name is Kwang
Choi, and he would greatly appreciate it if you could contact him with
any information concerning his old friend.  

His number is 718 803 2612 or you can reply directly to this address.  

Thank you,
Roseanne Choi

I am looking for Sam Brabson with whom I served in Korea. He was the
Supply seargent while I was at K-8 808th EAB Co. "A"

This was a SCARWAF unit. I find that in civilian life, not many
individuals know what that meant. I usually tell them that it was "an
underwater mess kit repair battalion."

If anyone else wishes to contact me, feel free to do so.
