Comments: Pvt. Young was mortally wounded on October 9, 1950, during action near Kaesong. For his heroic action, he was awarded the Medal of Honor. I'm trying to make contact with vets who were in that unit, on that day, at that place. But I would particularly like to hear from vets who knew Pvt. Young. This is for research related to a story I have been attempting for some time to write.

Sharon Estell Miller wrote on 2008-02-04 21:19:27.0

Comments: Dear Charles,

Thank you for responding to my letter. My father was a p.o.w. and was captured at the battle at Unsan on November 2nd 1950. He was in prison camp #5 pyok dong in North Korea. On some paperwork I have it says he was captured at 300. I don't know what this means. He was held for 133 weeks. He was released 08/11/1953. I do have alot of photos from Korea, servicemen, barracks, and numerous other things.I also have some letters that he wrote his parents while he was in the service.I will read these and see if there is any information that will help someone find a missing GI.

Thank you

Sharon Estell Miller

Comments: I am a friend of Henry M. Ferguson who was with Dog Co.,First Bn.,8th Inf.Reg't,1st Cav. Div.in Oct./ Nov. of 1950 in North Korea. He has been attempting to get compensation for cold injury for several years but cannot prove it because his records were destroyed in the St Louis fire. His unit was overrun by the Chinese on Nov. 2nd 1950. It would be helpful if he could obtain a roster or morning reports or any info. to help prove that he was there. His serial No. was RA 15273238. He was wounded in action on July 31 1950 and returned to duty. He has a definite case of frostbite and should qualify for 100% disability.

Comments: After over 56 years, my Uncle, Sgt Frank Bunchuk, is coming home, as his remains have been identified, thanks to all those involved in finding and identifying remains from the Korean War, located in North Korea. This was made possible through DNA obtained from my mother (his sister) and I through the DNA Identification Program. Although from Orleans/Niagara Counties in New York State, the family has chosen burial at Arlington National Cemetery, which will take place on 09 August 2007. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing closure to our family and allowing us to BRING UNCLE FRANKIE HOME. This experience has shown us that they truly ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!

Again, THANK YOU, Jeanette Welsh

Comments: Hi, and a sincere Thank You for all who have served and protected our country.

I am looking for info on my great-uncle Henry R. Hopkins born in GA. I knew him when I was a child. He wore a brace on his leg.

On his headstone it has SP5 Army, Korean & Vietnam. I have a newpaper obit that includes the following: He was buried with full military honors and a 21 gun salute from Fort McPherson. Service men from Fort McPherson served as pallbearers. American Legion members acted as honorary pallbearers. A member of the American Legion, Hopkins received many awards for his military service. In addition, he was a recipient of the Silver Star, several Purple Hearts with Stars and the Bronze Medal.

My dad says, "Uncle Henry was at HeartBreak Ridge."
