Keywords: My husband was stationed in Soul or not far from it...Ray Ducan was my husbands friend from childhood.. My husband was Sgt. John Grimes... John and Ray found out they both ended up in Korea and Ray unable to get away ...so my husband would go and stay at Rays Base, which was at the DMZ... My husband passed away from a variety of health issues from agent orange... Ray Ducan died at 34 with his heart. The health probems that caused my husbands death isnt in question... but they don't have military records which show's John spend time at several bases that had exploser to agent orange... Does anyone Remember Sgt. John Grimes or Ray Ducan... I know this isn't much to go on ... But I'm hoping... There was also times the military would send my husband for a variety of reasons... Thank you in advance... Marie

RC # 3 or CC # 3 1962-1963 TDY from HQ&HQ Co 8th Cav Mustang Swutchboard |

Wylie Axford wrote on 2010-08-11 20:38:39.0
Comments: In 1962 or 1963 I was the chief switchboard operator of Mustang switchboard,at RC or CC # 3. while the 8th Cav line units were south of the Injim river on war games the 7th Cav sent men TDY north of the Injin river. they were called back due to North Korean infiltraters and an unknown unit was sent up to replace the 7th cav men. As the 7th Cav men were leaving they told the replacement SGTs about the great Quail Hunting, and they could check out shotguns from our rec center to hunt with. But the 7th Cav SGTs had received safety traning concerning the mine fields. This evidently was not passed on to the replacments as 3 SGTs returning from quail hunting walked into one of the fields. One of the SGTs in shock with schrapnel wounds and blood all over his chest arms legs and hands, wondered into my Orderly room and just stood there staring at me my first SGT and our CO, for a long time unable to speak. Finaly he told us what had happened. One of his buddies had his leg blown off and the other SGT picked him up as he was still alive and tried to carry him out of the mine field. However he stepped on a mine also and the SGT said he was killed instantly, The SGT standing before me went into shock and ran out of the mine field and returned to the Rec Center, He belived the one named Jerome that had his leg blown off and was being carried out was still alive. I had been told by one of my switchboard opperators at a Med evac south of the Injim, they had just received the new Jet Huey Helicopters and if we ever needed help to call. Thats what I did. It may have been the first Jet Huey evac if not world wide in Korea for sure, as this was 1962 or 1963. The chopper was overhead within 10 mins, they picked up our CO and the wounded SGT and flew to the minefield site extracted the two SGTs , returned to RC # 3 and dropped off our CO and headed south. I had told my CO about the new Huey's but was told not to call them as he had allready called seoul for the mine sweepers. I desided to make the call anyway. I was afraid to ask my CO about what had happened when he returned, as I thought I could get in trouble for making the call. He never spoke about the event to me or anyone else as far as I know. About 2 hours later the mine sweeper unit arived and were not upset at all that I had called in the Huey's.If anyone knows the outcome of this event I would like to know.

Mario Pacella wrote on 2010-07-18 11:46:14.0
Comments: I served with Co A 2/23 2nd Divison on the DMZ from March 68 to june 69.I believe it was the 13th of April 68 around noon whenwe learned that a patrol was pinned down by North Korean fire at the base of GP Gladys. My platoon sargent was able toround up about 16 of us to get them out. We got our weapons and ammo and headed out to the GP. Upon arrival we reenforced the trenches.We could see where the partol was pinned down about 100 feet from the white tape. I am standing in the trench when all of a sudden 4 to 5 rounds fired by the North Koreans hit right in front of me kicking up dirt and stones hitting me and Rick Rohtan in the face. Boy ,did it really sting. Rick yelled out I am hit as we ducked down. I told him no you are not no blood it was the kicked up stones that hit us.Immediately the LT made his way down to us and asked if I knew how to fire a M60. I said yes and he told to follow him to the gun enplacement.He pointed out the North Korean and told me to wait until he ordered me to fire.Apparently he had to get permission from Divison in order to fire into North Korea.In the meantime I sighted the M60 on the target but needed to stand on a few sand bags to do so. Now while every body was still ducked down in the trnches here I am exposed from the waist up.I knew for sure I was going to die once I fired. Well in the meantime the pinned down patrol was able to get away. And once Divison learnded that the patrol was safe,we were ordered to disengage and return to camp.Years later I learned that when those stones hit me in the face it reputured a sinus tract,better that than killed. Would like to hear from any of those guys. Email mpacellasr@gmail.com or 716 822 5237

Jerry Simpson wrote on 2010-07-02 07:52:08.0
Comments: Looking for someone that served with me from Ft. Eustis, Va. through Seoul and Yong dong po Korea from Jan of 1966 to Feb if 1967 I was in Company a 304th signal Bn. at camp Baker. Beside the Crown Brewery at Yong dong po. I had a lot of friends but can't remember names real well. If you will write I know I will remember you. We went to the field around yang san in 1966 when Pres. Johnson came to town. We set up field communications for A.P and U.P.I.Remember having to go about 100 yards to take a shower and the windows were frozen over with ice in the winter. We gave a 13 year old Korean boy a bar of ex-lax and told him it was special for him. We did it because he was always taking candy away from the younger boys. Some us went to the village one night and got into a fight with some of the Korean civilians who actually hated us anyway. They through carcoal brickettes at us. They sold dried fish straight out of the store window. You picked out the fish you wanted. all of them had flies all over them. They got their hogs drunk and put them on the back of their bicycles to take them to the market. They stacked chickens at least 10 creats high on the back of their bicycles for market.
