RICHARD A. (RICH) Bowman wrote on 2003-08-10 14:10:20.0

Comments: We are trying to locate and contact former members of the Korean War who served aboard the following destroyers: USS DeHaven (DD-727), USS Mansfield (DD-728), USS Collett (DD-730), USS Lyman K. Swenson (DD-729), USS Henderson (DD-785) and USS Gurke (DD-783).

The destroyers comprised Destroyer Squadron 9 (DESRON9) and became known as The Sitting Duck Squadron, for their pre-invasion assault on Wolmi-Do Island at Inchon, Korea on September 13, 1950.

These six ships received the Navy Unit Commendation for their bravery and heroism on this historic day.

We like to locate veterans of DESRON9 to determine potential interest for organizing a Sitting Duck Squadron Reunion, to be held in 2004 at a yet to be determined location in the United States.

Interested veterans may write, call, or E-mail either:

William H. Barnes III 2 Williams Dr. Annapolis, MD 21401-2215 Telephone: (410) 263-2006

Richard A. Bowman 5007 S. 1800 W. Roy, UT 84067-2988 Telephone: (801) 774-9098 E-Mail: rbowman866@aol.com
