Did you know my dad?

Comments: I am looking for anyone that may have served on the USS Piedmont with my dad. He served on the Piedmont from July 11, 1952 to March 15, 1954. My dad passed away in 1989 and I never learned much about his Navy life. He was from Michigan and he was a boxer for the Navy. If you have any info or stories you would like to share, please e-mail me. I have no pictures or memorabilia from from my dad's Navy days, apparently they were lost or destroyed when he divorced his 1st wife. I'd love to have scanned pictures sent if you have any.

KOREA - INCHON BAY G.M. 'JIM' 'TEX' REEVES - RIP

Comments: My dad was on the USS Piedmont during the Korean War. He let the anchor down in Inchon Bay on orders. I would like to know if there is anyone out there that remembers him. He is from Merkel, Texas, and joined the Navy in 1945.

Thank you.

Editor's note: we received notice of Jim's death from Karen on July 31st. Here is her message:

Just to let you know that my dad, G. M. "Jim" Reeves, Jr. passed away on July 20, 2001 from complications of a stroke.

He was a veteran of the Korean War and always very proud of his service. He was stationed on the U.S.S. Piedmont and was the one who set the anchor at the Inchon Bay landing on his ship. He said he was waiting for the command to lower anchor and thought his superior was going all the way inland.

If anyone remembers him, I would love to talk to them.

Thank you.
