HEATHER MOYER wrote on February 14, 2007 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My name is Heather, and my grandfather, Ken Roenicke was aboard the Wallace L Lind during the Korean War. He passed quite a few years ago, and I was too young to know how much his memories would have meant to me even now. (I think my parents thought I was too young to hear such language.) I am married to a former Navy man now, and I think they would have gotten along great. I miss him dearly. If anyone knew him, has a story or even a photo to share, I would appreciate it so much. Thank you. Keywords: wallace l lind, korean war
