LOOKING FOR KOREAN WAR BUDDIES

Comments: Hello All,

I am interested in locating old buddies I served with in the ET gang aboard the USS Prairie from 1953 to 1954. Anyone remembering me, please respond. We alternated between San Diego and Sasebo, Japan. The ship was in Sasebo most of the time during that period and made one quick trip around the coast of Korea after the Armistice was signed.

Best regards,

Richard N. Schowengerdt

USS Prairie jacket

Comments: I just wanted to throw out there that I acquired a black velvet USS Prairie jacket (old) with Hawaii, Wake, IS., Marcus Is., Hong Kong, Subic Bay, and Sasebo embroidered on the front along with a patch that reads "Far East Cruise", the IC Gang along with several pictures surrounding that.

If anyone is interested, please let me know. I've been reading the history of the USS Prairie and have gotten very interested in the people behind this.

Thanks.

Linda Jackson

USS PRAIRIE 1942?

Comments: Recently, my best friend's mother passed away. Included in her personal belongings were numerous pictures of the USS PRAIRIE, (some drawn, some stamped photos.) With those, are several original pictures, (most are dated February 1944, some not dated at all.) of VIPS, military personnel celebrating Christmas aboard the ship, crew photos, or photos of soldiers coming ashore to unidentified islands. There are also many pictures of US soldiers on that tour who are integrating with those islanders I referred to.

As I stated, we're not certain who these soldiers are or where they were touring at that time. Perhaps one of you USS PRAIRIE buffs may be able to guide us in the proper direction? We would appreciate it.

Her grandfather's name was Ralph Vaughn Peterson and was a Chief Special Artificer Optical. (?) He also retired May 26, 1947, after 20 years of service.

FYI: There was also an old photo envelope which held several USS PRAIRIE Crew group photos. (Mostly Christmas photos) On that envelope are the names of soldiers that these pictures were dispersed to, we assume, and these are their last names. Reynolds - Block - Hill - Hubert - Anderson - Dickinson - Rayman - Ringer - Bowles? - Henry - Curry - Cohen - Mauro - Miller - Thomas and Chambless?

My e-mail address is MMMO69@aol.com. Thank you for taking the time to read this add, but most of all, thank you all so much for your bravery and nobility while serving this great country of ours.
