KMAG Shoulder Patches

Comments: A friend of mine served in Korea from 51-54. He was assigned to KMAG 8202AU. I am trying to put a couple of Presentation Cases together for his sons with his medals, patches etc. The patch he wore was a Blue Liberty Bell with a white eagle on it. Along the top of the patch was a red type banner with white type waves. The bottom of the Patch has a red border, curved, with KMAG. If anyone knows where I can locate or purchase these patches please let me know. I need two of them.

KMAG: Camp Long - Wonju, Korea 1967-68

Comments: I have been working on this VA Claim since March of 2007. My military records certify that I was assigned to KMAG from August 1967 to September of 1968. During that time, I visited Korean Transportation Battalion Motor Pools, to the north of FROKA, for the purpose of inspecting them. In the spring of 1968, when at some Korean motor pools, I noticed hundred of 55 gallon drums being store in the infeld area of the compounds. The 5 & 10 ton trucks I was inspecting, I found out later, were utilized to transport Agent Orange. To make a long story short, I inadvertanly was exposed to Agent Orange on several occaisons during my inspection tours. Thank you for your interest and reaponse.

Keywords: I need to find someone who was stationed with me at KMAG some 41 years ago. I am filing a VA Claim. I was a 1st Lt in the Transportation Corp.

I need someone from 41 years ago at Camp Long, Wonju, Korea to contact me ... please. 1st Lt. John G Boucher. Thanks ...

KMAG

Comments: My Dad was home at Ft. Benning for my inception Feb 1950. He was in Korea in '47/'48 perhaps with the KMAG group and, apparently in heavy combat (for that time)and sustained wounds that would diminish his combat ability and came home to Ft. Benning to train. It was said he was court martialed for shooting one of his own men in the back, in Korea(for cowardice I assume). Not alot to go on, huh? His name was Thomas Whitby Garrett Jr. It is said he was an officer at the time. Anyone know anything? Thanks
