Comments: My father Edward Kreis served in the Korean War, I believe with the 40th Infantry Division because of the combat patch on his uniform. I have many photos of dad with a bunch of names on the back. I see that dad hung around with a group of guys that are captioned inthe back as: Tuck, Greer, Red and Monroe. Most of the photos have Tuck and Greer and dad in them. One photo says, "Our cook, Cpl. Stackhouse.. that really is his name".. Dad's handwriting is sometimes hard to read so I wouldn't be suprised if it was Cpl. Steakhouse. If anyone knows any of these men please get back to me. Thanks

Comments: I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me. I am interested in where an Army infantryman from North Carolina might have participated in basic training during the summer of 1950. I have tried to find a definite answer, but unfortunately cannot. I also do not know anyone who was in that particular situation.

Any help, as well as any experiences you might like to share, would be greatly appreciated.

Comments: My father served in Korea, he was in the infantry from 53 - 54. He joined the Army in nov 1952 from Detroit Michigan, and was discharged from Fort Sheridan, Ill in September 1954. I recently retired from the Marine Corps after 25 years of servive as an Infantryman (grunt), and am in the process of building him a memorial Shadow box for him. I have his DD214 and various other documents that tell an awesome story but I am still missing certain pieces of this this great puzzle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't know where he went to basic training or any of his specific information for that matter. I only know what he told me and what i have documentation to support! I have tried to do extensive research into his units and still have a lot of unanswered questions. I know by some of the documention that he was with the certain units ie. 1 September 1954 I have a letter of appreciation signed by Lt. Gerad T. Frey, 1st Lt Inf, Commanding, G Coompany, 27th infantry Regiment (THE WOLFHOUNDS) APO 25.

Comments: Hello, Does anyone have any information on the 8068th Quartermaster Corps unit assigned to the island of Okinawa during the Korean War ? My father was assigned there from about 1951/52 to 1953. He never speaks of what his unit did. I only learned the name of his Unit recently. he is still alive and is nearly 77 years old. He is from Long Island, New York and has lived there all his life apart from his time in the Korean Conflict. He mentioned once a few years ago a fellow army acquaintance from California. He mentioned working in supply and that his unit was due to ship to Korea in 1953 but that right before his unit was due to ship out the end of the war happened. He has some old pictures from the base on Okinawa. he saved the old photos .I have always looked at them briefly and then put them away. If anyone had some family members at the 8068th and if they themselves were with that unit please give me a Holler ! Thanks to all and have a Good Day !
