HARRY PARKHURST wrote on October 23, 2011 City and State: KC MO Unit: 581ST REPRO Service or Relationship: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: Learned after declassification 50 yrs later the 581st was organized and directed by the CIA. My flt of volunteers was the 2nd unit to go to Korea and Omiya. Repro was the largest sqdn on Clark, but the tightest. You might not know the guy in the other hut, but he'd be by your side in a second. They didn't tell us, but we printed leaflets in support of the French in Vietnam after Eisenhower came in. Great people, great experience. Bless them all....... Keywords: Many friends, able to contact only a few.
