RON ERICKSON wrote on April 3, 2008 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My brother, Ernest W (Wally) Erickson, EM3 (always known as 'Erick', just as I was), served on the Maddox from '52 through early '56. He was aboard, in the ammo passing line for the forward gun turret when a shore battery, near Wonsan, made a direct hit on the gun turret. I believe either 1 or 2 of his close friends were killed in the incident, and Wally was seriously wounded in the leg and stomach. He was sent to a hospital facility for treatment, but was quickly returned to the Maddox for the duration of his enlistment. My understanding was that they never did remove all the shrapnel, and he was in serious and constant pain until this contributed to his death in April 1959. Following his example, I enlisted in Dec '55, and served as an ET2 until Dec '59 (served aboard the Waxwing, MSF389; Ajax, AR6; Mataco, ATF86; and Aeolus. ARC3). I was always very proud of the example my 'big brother' provided to me. If there are any still out there that may have served with Wally, don't hesitate to drop me a short note. Thanks, Ronald Erickson Keywords: Action off Wonsan Korea, approx Apr '54
