SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN

Comments: My father Charles E. Stevens from Colesville, near
Silver Spring, MD served in the Air Force. His last
name Stevens was shortened to Steve so those who
served with him may know him by Steve. He served with
many from the Texas and Ark NAtional Guard. My Dad
started out as a radar mechanic. He talks about
radars, the cold, F-84s, a B26/9 named Dreamer which
had the saying -Old Airmen never die, they just go on
TDY. He also remembers going to Japan for more
training and leave, the Korean people, his tent
burning down, and eating dessert first on holidays
because it was as the top of his messkit. Please
contact me if you know him or have stories to share.
He is 81 and would like to share memories with others.

Comments: My dad signed up the day after Pearl Harbor. I know he served in Korea also. I always remembered the "111th" and everyone tells me they were in Europe and I must be wrong. Then I saw this. Maybe it was this 111th... were they a part of the 11th Airborne? I know my dad was 11th Airborne, 1st Sgt/Master Sgt Paratroopers. Dominick Robert Savino.

Comments: Looking for anyone who knew and has memories of my father, Cameron E. Smith. My dad never spoke of his service in Korea and I would like to find out more of those years. He was killed in a work-related accident in 1981, so old papers have been my only source of information. If you knew and remember my father, please contact me for short correspondence. Thank you.
