JIM FORADAS wrote on October 14, 2005 City and State: HOUSTON TX Unit: DAD'S UNIT WAS 934TH TAC Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: I Recently found out my dad George was nicknamed Custer while at the 934th TAC detachment at Seoul University. Dad was a Philco tech rep (acting rank of Captain) attached to the 934th TAC between Oct 1950 to Summer 1951. I've started oral history of dad's experiences there, but have learned more about his experience he hasn't shared from a former sniper (now a retired sergeant major)that was then attached to unit security. Dad has told me about Col Clark's train set and the shot glasses on the flat cars, and about his three chaplain roomates (a Rabbi, Protestant and Catholic), interactions with the local chief of Police and his family to get help going up and down the mountain between campuses to service the antennas. Seems sharing tobacco helped. It is my understanding you guys used scavenged trolley cable wires on wood frames to power antennas due to lack of insulated cable. Snipers and F-80s kept the power line secure. Dad also taught transmission in morse - i think he said you had to send 22 five digit words a minute? Anyway, he's 82 now so I get what I can. Does anyone else remember Custer? Please feel free to share good and bad experiences. I'm a trained ethnohistorian not a revisionist historian, so tell it like it was please. I want to understand my father's experiences there and share them with my son and daughter when they grow older. Please E-mail me -- Custer's oldest son.

CARL JOHNSON wrote on July 30, 2005 City and State: HUNTERSVILLE NC Unit: 608TH AC-W SQDN Service or Relationship: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: I am trying to help the family of James Stanley Brock (now deceased) obtain a Bronze Star decoration which apparently was awarded to Sgt. Brock. James Stanley Brock served in the 1st Radio Sqdn. Det 13 in Korea during 1951-52. He died 6/8/05 in Charlotte NC. His CO in Korea was Capt. R.E. (Hop) Harriger. On behalf of Mr. Brock's daughter, Beth Kendall, I am attempting to determine the status of a Bronze Star award mentioned in a letter of 11 May 52 from Capt.Harriger to Sgt. Brock. I have a copy of the letter. The award was not presented to Sgt. Brock and is not listed on his DD-214. The letter says that Capt. Harriger, Boone, Wilhelm and Nixon received their Bronze Star and that the paperwork for Sgt. Brock's decoration had been submitted to Group with FEAF next with final approval. I would like to contact any of the veterans mentioned above for information purposes or help. I did not serve in Mr. Brock's outfit but we both belong to the NC Chapter of the KWVABoone,. Thank You for your help. Carl Johnson Keywords: 1st Radio Sqdn, Sgt.James Brock, Capt.R.E.(Hop)Harriger,Boone,Wilhelm,Nixon,5th Com Group,FEAF,Bronze Star
