Comments: What a blast from the past! The JSA is the one unit that brings back the best Army memories to me. I'm looking for other soldiers that served in 90-91. I have a bunch of pictures too. I have not heard from anyone since I left the Army in 91. Has anyone heard from Kieffer, Foster, Middleton, Collens, Hirschi or Garrent. I'm gonna have to pull out the pictures now.

Comments: I still recall the many lonely nights working the JSA checkpoints in the DMZ and listening to my Panasonic radio that was purchased at the Naval Base Exchange in Seoul. "House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals, "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple, "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Revival, and a fall 1973 college football game between UCLA and the University of Nebraska, which ended in a 21-21 tie, are a few broadcasts that I vividly remember. PS: I still have the radio. IN FRONT OF THEM ALL! Jim Mazour (73-74)

Its been many years, but the memories are still fresh in my mind. You don't appreciate what you have until its gone. My time at JSA was the best unit in the Army for me. I was sorry later that I returned to the states. The guys from POL with me were Middleton, Greer. The guys from S-4 and the motor pool were Davis, Mick, Mize, Meyer, Steve Hart. I hope to get a response from someone. Rudy Martinez

Comments: Attended the 2007 reunion in Las Vegas with my wonderful Wife, who I consider as also serving at the JSA (She did it Stateside while I did it in Korea). The guest speakers were iceing on a function that could not have been better. Jim Mazour and his beautiful Wife deserve tremendous credit for setting it all up. I was the Platoon SGT of the Crew on duty when the Pueblo was released and getting to meet F. Carl Schumacher was a special privilege. The same with LTC Anastasia and Mr. Tchue. I spent 22 years in the Army, the last 12 as a CID Agent, and the 13 months at JSA was the most memorable of my whole career. It was even fun crossing the one lane bridge over the river, the dirt road, moose night, etc. Your a great bunch of people who should be very pround.

The Joseph White Incident

William Schweizer wrote on 2007-08-11 09:55:32.0

Comments: As I was one of the JSA TOC clerks on duty on the fateful evening of 28 August 1982, the night that Joseph T. White decided to defect to North Korea, I have always been interested to see if I could find anything in print that was related to the story. I have done several internet searches over the past few years and have come up with next to no information at all about the incident. Recently, I tried a "GOOGLE" search and came up with a couple of positive hits. If there's anyone out there interested in White's defection to North Korea, Google Search the following: "Joseph White's Walk In The Dark". IN FRONT OF THEM ALL

Comments: Just found this site, its great. Hello to all who remember the JSA and Camp Kittyhawk with fond memories from Spec4 Hall of the 2nd Platoon and later the Tour Guides (lol). Remember the ladies that ran the barber shop, going to sleep with the sound of propaganda sounding almost 24 hours a day every day, the trip up to the QRF site and on to the JSA itself, etc. I remember that just before I got there a KATUSA was killed in a training accident, the first issue of BDU's in Korea, the accident in the dmz when the jeep rear-ended the duce & 1/2, and all that preparation for Pres. Reagan to visit in the fall of 83. It was the only tour I had that felt like a real job - that mattered. everywhere else was just practice.

David Thornton wrote on 2007-07-04 16:07:03.0

Comments: Over the years I have read letters from fellow DMZ Brothers talking about different health problem they think are linked to their DMZ service. It is very clear that we will never get anything until we band together to get what we justly deserve. As indivuals we hit a wall fighting a system that wants to forget about us! We have all got the same answers about our records or we are not a big enough burden to Society. we are being judged by people who do not understand the unique situation we were in. They tell us thirty years after the fact that we were exposed to Agent orange then say we weren't. one docter says you have PTSD the other says you do not. I am interested in comment from my brothers from JSA and 2nd Div about this and any solution to the problems.In front of them All-72 to 74, Rock of the Marne 77-78
