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.

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

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.

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

Comments: I just found this site, glad I did, sure brings back alot of memories. Even after 19 years in the Army and all the units I have been in, the JSA was one of the best. I served at Camp Bonifas from March 1990 through the end of April of 1992. I was in 2nd PLT and then became a tour guide. I remember most everyone who was there at that time, especially, Layton, Traylor, Mawby, Hadden, Sowers, Vanderpool, Padgett, Garrett, O'Brien, Brown, Lee Soo Young, Collins, Fields, Choi, Hazelwood, the guys in the C&E shop and too many more to list. I am still in the Army at present. Anyone who would like to walk down memory lane drop me a line and we can chat about Itaewon, Sonjuri, Thunder Runs, The dancing girls at the Sanctuary on Tuesday nights, DMZ patrols in sub zero temperatures, life at BRF and the QRF buildings, The ride on the "Seoul Train" from Munsan to Seoul, nights at the Dragon Hill, MTV Club, East-West Club, King Club, Nashville Club, Twilight Zone, The Heavy Metal Club, The Paradise Club in Sonjuri, trying to catch the bus back across Freedom Bridge before it closed for the night, and rationed orange juice in the chow hall. If you were in the JSA at any time, you will never forget it. It was one of the best and most rewarding assignments in the Army. Few had to endure what we did living at Camp Bonifas, but the friendships and the things we learned there will forever be etched in our minds. "In front of them all" then, now, and forever.

Comments: This assignment was the greatest assignment in my over twenty years of service. There were many events that occured during this time but one of the most significant to me was that of a Private who had defected from the Czech contingency and left for the U.S. He had been put on clean-up detail at the NNSC Building which was along the row and left unattended by his Czech captain, CPT Lubomir Kopaj. The private simply walked out of the building on our side and continued walking past check points until finally stopped and asked in broken Russian by one of the Security Platoon members what the guy was up to. The private wanted to go to Ohio where he had relatives living. After being questioned at the Monestary "O Club) he was taken to Seoul. I never knew if he actually made it to Ohio but would like to think that he did.

Disturbing Information

Column_1_Spacer Column_2_Spacer
William Schweizer wrote on 2007-03-31 13:47:07.0

Comments: I came across a disturbing article this morning (31 March 2007)on the Comcast Home Page News headlines. The article was in regards to the cover-up of the death of Pat Tillman in Afghanistan in April 2004. It was an AP article and was written by SCOTT LAIDLAW, titled "GENERAL TRIED TO WARN BUSH ABOUT TILLMAN". To paraphrase the article, General Mchrystal sent a memo to General Abizaid stating the following: "I felt that it was essential that you received this information as soon as we detected it in order to preclude any unknowing statements by our country's leaders which might cause public embarassment if the circumstances of Cpl. Tillman's death become public", that is LTG McChrystal's own words from this article. The article goes on to say that LTG McChrystal is the highest ranking officer accused of wrong doing in the Tillman death cover-up. I would like to state that when I arrived at JSA in January 1982 LTG McChrystal (then Captain McChrystal) was the JSA Operations Officer (S-3) at that time. I would also like to go on record and state that LTG McChrystal (CPT McChrystal) was one of the finest officers I ever had the privelege to work for. As far as I'm concerned, LTG McChrystal's word is as good as gold. If The General said he tried to warn his superiors about the true facts of Pat Tillman's tragic death as possibly the result of a friendly fire incident, then that is exactly what he did. I believe LTG McChrystal, and I have absolute faith in the man. I only wish some of the other officers I served with had the same fortitude and integrity that LTG McChrystal (CPT McChrystal) exemplified. I'm a nobody in this world, but it pains me greatly to hear of a man I have the highest regard for being, as far as I'm concerned, falsely accused of wrong doing and trying to cover up the circumstances of Pat Tillman's death. I wish nothing but the best for LTG Mchrystal and he will always have my highest respect and all the support that I can give the man. "IN FRONT OF THEM ALL"

Comments: Its looks like no progress, they (North Korean)are still backwards and for what ever the reason.

Now with the Nuke Test.

I heard the people are the ones that don't have nothing - the high rise apartments don't have proper plumbing and they still have to put up with this short fat doughboy.

What a waste of life. Its seems like any one who makes a statue's of himself has a problem. I think a good Sniper would put a end to this doughboy?

Comments: This message is to George Fry in reference to his message where he mentioned the name Gene Tegeder. I am not for sure if you are referring to the Gene Tegeder from Cincinnati, Oh. or not, but that Gene is my father in-law and he did serve in Korea and he is a great guy just like you mentioned in your comment so I figure that we might be talking about the same person. I just thought I'd let you know that Gene passed away on Easter Sunday of 2004 and was laid to rest in Montgomery, Oh. He truly was a great guy and it was an honor to have known him. I also want to think any and all veterans who read this for serving this great nation and keeping it save. God bless all of you!!!

I'm looking to reconnect with any of the fellows from the C&E section (Beal, Kelley, O'Brien, Daniels, Henry, Hemmen,Swearingen, etc) and any of the "bruthas" (Wallace, Carter, Cade, Garcia, Wiltz, Currin, Ingram, Lett, Jenkins, etc).

Remember the orange juice ration enforced by the mess hall? Recall the 10-15 miles road marches or 5 mile runs under LTC Turner? Remember...remember...remember..

LTC Miller and MAJ Stanton were top notch and they kept us running smooth. It is sad to hear us leaving the JSA but I wil lalways remember the great service and great memories from my year in the JSA.
