CHARLES (SPEEDY) MORRIS wrote on February 26, 2000 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: Would like to hear from others who served on the Whetstone or LSMR-409 during Koreab Conflict. March 11, 2000 Dear Military Friends, Even though I have not yet been able to contact any particular person who was actually on the LSMR-409 or the USS Whetstone at the same time as me, I have enjoyed hearing from each of you. I am grateful for your response and for any assistance. From you I learned how the LSM was changed to the LSMR, that it served in WWII, Korean War, and then again in Vietnam. That¹s quite a history of service to our country! My search began with encouragement from our son and daughter-in-law. Our son and his wife were interested in video taping me talking about a scrapbook that I kept during the Korean War. From that encounter, they found info on the reunion of the personnel who served on the USS Whetstone. Even though I served on the Whetstone, my true love is the 409, because of the time served and the experiences I was involved in on that ship. Keywords: Whetstone and LSMR-409
