Comments: Good morning. My father Federico Cachuela Fines, Corporal in the army joined the Korean War along with the United States Military with Douglas Mac Arthur. My father's commanding officer Col. Ramon Aguirre. My father is turning 95 years this June 5, 2024. He still often talks about his experience at the Korean War. The was in 19th BCT Peftok. He was an infantry man (gunner) and I believe he received a medal. He would like to know if there were any benefits like scholarships or education benefits for his grandchildren. And in addition, he often talks about that there were 18 of them that supposed to be granted a piece of land in Tagaytay. Please let me know any infos about the Korean War 19 BCT benefits. Thank you.
