ROBERT J. ROBERTS wrote on November 11, 2011 CITY AND STATE: PITTSBURG KS UNIT: 937TH FA BN, HQ BATTERY SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN Comments: I just recently found this page. I enlisted in the National Guard in Fort Smith in 1949. The unit was activated in 1950. I shipped to Korea with Headquarters Battery and served seventeen months there. I was a member of the Battalion Survey Party and eventually became Chief of Party, discharged with the rank of Sergeant First Class. Korea has to be one of the coldest places in the world. When I shipped home I went to Arkansas State College, Jonesboro, and never moved back to my home town. Haven't really had contact with anyone in the outfit since. I am a retired college professor living in Pittsburg, Kansas. Did anyone ever write a credible history of the 937th in Korea? Keywords: HQ battery survey party Don Wickoff Long Toms

BRIAN ROBERTSON wrote on August 1, 2008 CITY AND STATE: LITTLE ROCK AR UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: OTHER Comments: The Butler Center for Arkansas Studies of the Central Arkansas Library System has launched an initiative to document and preserve Arkansass role in the Korean War. For too long this aspect of our nations history has been forgotten or obscured by other events. Even worse, the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform has often been overlooked. We believe it is time to change that. The Butler Center would like to solicit anyone's help in making sure that Arkansans who served in the war are not forgotten. We propose to honor our veterans by embarking on an aggressive campaign to seek out and preserve for future generations the documentary history of Arkansass role in the war. It is our intention to become Arkansass repository of information on the Korean War. To do this, we will need as much help as possible. We are anxious to secure letters, photographs, diaries, etc. of Arkansass Korean War veterans. These pieces of history need to be preserved before they are lost. We are also very interested in conducting an oral history campaign to allow our veterans to share their memories with others. By interviewing and recording these heroes, we will enable future generations to actually hear from their past. I am sure that everyone agrees that this is an important project; a project whose time has been long overdue. The Butler Center already serves as a storehouse of information on Arkansass role in the Civil War and World War II. Thus, it is only logical, and, indeed necessary, that we undertake the important task of preserving the documentary evidence of our countrys Forgotten War. We owe it not only to our veterans, but to future generations as well. Please contact me if you can help us in our project. Sincerely, Brian Robertson Keywords: Arkansas
