Comments: DO YOU REMEMBER THAT FORMER PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER SENT
SECRET SERVICE AGENTS TO THE DMZ IN A CHOPPER AND THEY
GOT OUT AND DECIDED IT WAS TO DANGEROUS FOR HIM TO COME
UP TO THE DMZ AND LEFT, Probably the biggest proof that
we were in a war zone that nobody cared to print about,
as they did not want to pay US combat pay. Nor reward
US for our Service.

I was 17 and just a Grunt,barely past my Basic
stunt, still i was sent right to the front,just because
i was 6ft1 to intimidate Those north Korean ones. When
i got There people died, yet I Love Lucy was still
alive.The crap on TV made me loss my pride, i knew my
people did not care if we lived or died. We were not
given any medals, our government has become worse, and
still do not see, nor do they reward my comrade fellas
or me. They were stealing our jeeps in garbage trucks,
ask for a pass you were out of luck. Night after night
you thought what the f***. Captains all had, not a
clue, the lieutenant too did not know what to do. the
First SGT and Captain were relieved, for calling SGT
Jonson a Nig** please. We needed non of that, as there
was no camaraderie where i was at. We fought more with
ourselves, then the North Koreans this was hell. I
became a cook to my surprise, we still pulled guard
duty that's no lie. With my M16 grenade launcher, i
survived, though some did not, suicide thrived. I had a
medic write me up, to tell my family i had given up. It
was a man from the other side, of pot hill that did not
survive. Pot bridge was the way, we had kept sane from
day to day. Monkey shi* it was most the time, but it
was something to ease to ease our mind, if you were not
drunk half the time. Can you tell me what is on your
mind sitting on the Front all the time? Bestiality
there was non of that, no homosexuals did i know in
Korea, no no there was not that. What i longed for was
Burger King,Now they are there with their jingling. One
night i went to visit a Friend who in basic training
became my Friend, Michelson was his name, this one
night made US not the same. I looked out and what i saw
5 North Korean on this side of the wall. I told the Sgt
to call it in, but they would not let US engage in
Combat then. The next Morning We were on a jeep, for
having faced the enemy before our sleep. I knew right
where the placed that thing, that killed three men what
a careless sting. The SGT who, was captured by, the
North Korean from the other side. His body was sent
back three months latter as i cried, they put a grenade
in his mouth for their pride, and sent him back in
peaces inside, a box and bag again again i lost my
pride.President Puck Chug Hi also died. So meany days i
felt i died, 2 Katusha also died at that same place,it
was all a lie? Just who cares if we live or die, it was
basic training all over i cried. For in my first run in
the military was, a reality check to who i was. Two big
men had just dropped dead,that i just got to know and
thought as Friends,how could they have known, they
could not keep up? They had no training their hearts
gave uP. My last days in were a total scare, as the
Captain sent us all up in the air, a crazy pilot this
man was, shaking the Black Hawk all around because, he
thought it funny to see US fear, he had control of US
in the air. When he set down i took the Captains Jeep,
and told them i was not their fodder sheep.The sorriest
thing about this pilot was him self and 13 died
because, He played the fool in the air it was,Because
no one would disciplined him it was. He crashed at Ft
Cambial on the Tarmac this was in 81 they lost their
lives because, it for his fun,his fun it was.27 people
died that i had seen in my service it was not a dream,
but all for not but because no one cared, about US men
who put our hands in the air, to protect this land from
enemy forces this was. It is our own government, our
enemy now, sources do confirm they do not care but like
a cow. Even about You who read this now, Where,ever you
are do beware,Chem trails in the sky i aim not here to
scare. but to tell you the truth that it is there.It is
our government that is a lie.planning a million man
charge, against we the people who will die, because
they, do not want the Freedom we possessed, free to
talk about all this mess. How do we prepare for this
less we scream it out scream it out i guess? So scream
it out scream it out, it's Best so your children Will
Know about all this mess.

Kidd CPT, Infantry Commander, Dalas Jackson SFC
E-7,Henry P. Harvey Chaplain (CPT), USA Assistant

The guys Tim can remember are: Billy Reeves from Pinson
Alabama,Jefferson Co. William Moore from Louisa
Kentucky, Carl Sandefer from Star Texas,
Robert(Buck)Buchanan from Brooklyn NY and
Phillip(Ginger)Gendron from San Diego Calif.
If anyone knows these men, please ask them get a hold
of me. The exposure has not only caused severe health
issues for Tim but his daughter and son. We are looking
for others that can qualify his statements about
pesticide and defoliant use around the camps. Also
using the barrels for burning waste and for
shower,eating and sleeping in the under ground bunkers
and the area devoid of foliage and the constant
spraying of pesticide for the mosquito problem.

Korea with the 1/17 Mech INF Division my mos at that
time was 11C plus I was 11BP10 tow and dragon
missles.while over Korea I got frostbite on my toes
and I caught hep.c which UNCLE SAM gives service
connect 0 percent.They are so full of it.As far as
AGENT ORANGE I feel that after VIET NAM UNCLE SAM is
really just finding out the affects of AGENT
ORANGE.NO disrespect but how do UNCLE SAM know that
AGENT ORANGE was not passed on from one soldier to
another even brought back to the states.Us soldiers
come back from duties overseas with systoms that we
do not notice at the time because we are young men
and woman,but as age ticks on the systoms gets worse
and worse and the first thing UNCLE SAM says it did
not happen on or watch,but us VETS did not tell UNCLE
SAM we are not doing our job on our watch.I pulled 21
missions on the DMZ and they still say that KOREA is
not a combat zone we that was there know better.I
just want whats due to us.

Comments: I was sent to support a radar site on the DMZ. The
site was near the fence south side of the imjin
river. The men who worked the GSR came from Camp
Howze. I don't remember the site number, I think it
was site 9. All that I do remember we was on top of a
mountin with rice paddies all around us. One way up
the mountin and one way down. We had a ROC Army
Bn.camp on the bottom of the mountin. They supported
us with two english speaking ROCs Our site NCOIC was
Named SFC Kelly.If anyone can help me remember the
site nunber. Please let me know, Imjin scouts all the
way.

SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN

Comments: Hoping to find someone who can e-mail me and help with
getting my records straitened out. My records say that
I was a loader operator with C Co 11th Engineer Bn at
Camp Essayons when actually I was in the POL and was
with C Co 13th engineers. Which means I refueled
equipment at job sites where ever they were. Hoping to
find some one who can verify this and hopefully where
these job sites were located at. For whatever reason it
is looked at as strange that after forty plus years I
do not remember where these locations were. Of course I
am unable to access the Army records about that
information and if my records are any kind of example
of how records are kept it probably shows that the
sites are at the North Pole or some damn thing. Also I
am in need of some one who can verify that after I was
transferred to A Co. 51st Signal Bn. Just on the other
side of Ujongbu at a compound of Camp Pililue I think
it was spelled that I was in the supply room and not a
switchboard operator and that the Battalion went on a
excersize on the DMZ during the winter of 1970. I am
not sure where along the DMZ it was but I know it
wasn't very far from the river up there and it was
cold. I am not even being believed that there was a Bob
Hope show during the winter of 1970. I think that was
at the DMZ also if I remember right. Any way my records
look like a cluster f_ _k and my VA rep is telling me
that I have to prove that they are false in order to
continue on to other matters and for some reason Army
records are out of reach as to where battalions are
stationed and when and what they did while stationed
where they were at, or just maybe out of my reach. He
does seem to get a kick out of throwing road blocks up
that should be simple to remove, and he is a fellow
vet. So any help any one can provide would really be
useful. I paled around with A Harold Pettingale and a
guy named Weable who were in the motor pool at the 51st
Signal and our CO was a Capt. Martel. Hope some thing
rings a bell with some one.
