Comments: After some research I was able to determine my
Father - Howard Mott, Jr. served as a Corpsman with
Easy Co. 2nd BN 7th Regiment 1st Marine Division
during the 1952 thru 1953 time frame. I would
appreciate any information concerning any significant
combat engagements this unit was involved in during
that period. Hearing from anyone who knew him then
would also be great.

Comments: Looking for anyone who remembers him or has any stories
to tell. Sadly, he passed away without passing down
much. All that's left is a DD-214 and we would love to
know more about his time in the service.

He was WIA on 28 MAR 53, in Vegas. He was a medical
corpsman...but we do not know anymore than a date and 1st
Marine division and his WIA info to place him perhaps in
the 5th or 7th to be in Vegas on 28 Mar??

Comments: I was talking to my high school age son (17) last night who is studying the Korean War. I told him about his Grandfather who was assigned to Fox Company, 2nd Bn, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division. He was a Navy Corpsman. Don Wymer was my father. I would be sincerely interested if any other fellow Marines/Corpsmen remember him. He was 19 years old at the time of the Chosin Reservoir battle. He has sadly past away in November 2001.

I am also a veteran having served in the US Army Corps of Engineers and retired as a Major in the US Army Reserve.

Comments: My father was Theodore E Finfrock and was killed in the DMZ zone in November of 1952. I am looking for anyone that may have known him and might have pictures or stories to share. All of the information I have is second or third hand. My father was brought home and buried in Whitehorse Cemetery outside of Alva, Oklahoma next to his father Ted Finfrock. I recently added information in www.findagrave.com. I am trying to close some gaps and leave my children some information. Anyone with anything would be greeted with open arms. Since I was only one and a half years of age I really do not have any memories of my dad. Thanks Bee Littlejohn aka Bernice M Finfrock/Littlejohn.
