Attempted Wonson Landing - tied up in mine fields and did operation Yo-Yo. sailed back and forth till they got us out of mines. Made Evacuations at Chimmnapo for wounded ROK and dependents. evac. at Hungman right about Christmas time. Was transfferred off Bayfield to the Okinangan APA220 for last months of enlistment. It was wild ride, but wouldn't have missed it for the world. We also had dipthera breakout on way back to Japan and had to pull into Pearl Harbor for help, so got to see that beautiful place, Anyone remember me, would love to hear from you and whats going on with you now.
