Information for my dad

Comments:

Keywords: I am looking for information regarding to my dad, Robert A. Penter. He gave me some notes years ago and now his memory has gone and I am trying to gather what ever I can for his wife so she can look into VA benifits for his nursing care. Apparently there was a fire in the 70's that destroyed many of the records from that time period. This is the limited information I got from him. His name is Robert A. Penter discharged as 1st Lieutenant in 1953 5th Airforce-HQ Ground Safety Officer I think the base was K-5 (His notes say 12 miles south of Seoul) 1952-53 He was a coach for the base football team. Apparently he coached a game against Ted Williams' base sometime during that period. Also told stories of hunting fowl during off time. Any information would help. Thanks Mike Penter

Sgt Reuben W Lewis (father's photo)

Comments: My step-motherand her daughterrs destroyed all my father's things, including his military pictures. He served from 1939 until he was injured in 1951. If anyone has a group photo and would make a copy, I would be grateful. My father actually picked my husband, who served in the Air Force 23 years. Three of my four sons have served, two in both the Marines and the Army, one retired from the Army and one is an active-duty Colonel. My daughter was a Captain in the AFROTC but married her sophomore year. My fouth son is a chronic asthmatic and was denied by all five branches (that includes the Coast Guard). My father was at Ft. Sam when he and my mother met. He served at Santa Monica, Ft. Bragg, Hot Springs, and Ft Benning state-side and fought in Africa, Italy, and Korea. I was nine-years-old when he left for Korea, so that's all I remember. I don't know what my mother did with my letters. She re-married when I was four-years-old.
