6127th Air Terminal Group - Minutemen

Comments: My husband came across a lighter that some of you may be familiar with. He thinks it might be from his late father, William Marsh Stief. It has the inscription "6127th Air Terminal Group" on one side and the inscription "Minutemen" with an emblem with the Alpha and Omega sign, a minuteman, a chain link and the words "Aggressive Service" on it. I (his son's wife) never knew him and am curious to see if anyone knew him or to hear more about the 6127th. My husband seems to think that his father would have been there in the 50's.

Thanks to the Vets who preceeded me

Comments: Got there in June 72 and hated the first six weeks I was there. Then somehow got drafted to the Security Police (Army) against the advisement of my platoon sergeant, SSG Stan Ladwig. Came back nine months later. Then I reenlisted and exteded...met first wife there too. I remember the cold weeks in Wonju with Sgt. Joe "Kimchi Fat" Davis. Slept in the switch board van...it was at least warm even if uncomfortable. During the fuel crisis.
