Comments: Greetings. My father was Col. John F. McCormick (Ret.), and I became interested in his military career very shortly before his passing.

I attended three of the 731st reunions, two in Laughlin, and met some wonderful people. I had the privilege of videotaping some of the veterans who fought in the very beginning of the Korean War, and I would like to talk to more of you.

I would be interested in talking with anyone who would like to share his or her experiences during the early part of the deployment. I am putting the finishing touches on a script with a working title of "The Pilot's Son" which will pay tribute to the squadron, as well as tell a story about a son and a father reconnecting over military history. If any of you would like to go on camera, or share your stories via email, please don't hesitate to contact me at psalms4us@gmail.com.

Very best regards, TJ McCormick

Comments: A couple of times in the past I must have been sleepy
when making entries, because I got my sqdn. numbers transposed. It should be 731st,but I put 371st. This has caused one person to write me seeking info but I was not the contact he needed. Sorry about that!

I was one of the regulars moved in to fill up empty slots when the 731st was activated. I was a radar tech,and reached the outfit at George about the end of Aug.,'50. Stayed with it until about the end of Sept.,'51. At that time I had about used up my involuntary year of extension and was shipped out from K-8 to the States for dis-charge.
