Subject: My Korean experience
I was at K-8 in Kunsan, Korea from August 1952 until July 1953. I was =
in the 3rd Supply Squadron furnishing bombs and ammo to all Air Force =
units including the 513th VMF. We serviced B-26s and F-84s mainly and =
gently dropped off bombs and ammo for the Marines. (They wouldn't let us =
touch their aircraft).
The "Bomb Dump" was several miles from the main base and we worked 12 =
hour days seven days a week. The 5th Mule train squadron brought in our =
resupply ongoing. We had a few explosions and entire revetments were =
lost at different times. I chose to think that they were "accidents" =
rather than sabotage.
I had three older brothers in WWII (a Navy officer, Army Nco, and Army =
Air force Nco.) We lost one S/sgt. in Germany in early 1945. I had two =
younger brothers who later served in the Army. My Mother and Father =
contributed six of their sons to the defense of their country and I was =
indeed proud to do my part wherever I was assigned.
I am a retired High School Principal of 39 years and I attribute what =
success and effect that I have had on students to my military service =
and opportunities received through the G.I.bill.=20
The Korean war effected me in another way as I had a brother-in-law in =
the Marines at the Chosin reservoir. Although he survived it, both he =
and my sister were never the same. He died an early death. =20
