Comments: I'm trying to help my 80(something) old neighbor find her brother. His name is Donald Guy Warner he was born September 4th, 1928. He was in the Korean War but I do not know what date. He apparently was a paratrooper, and returned to Germany after his tour was complete. His sister is Merilyn Kloster and she lives next door to me in Yakima, WA. I would appreciate any help.

Comments: My brother, Lt. Robert M. McElrath, flew with the Fat Cat Squadron out of Tachikawa in 1951-1952. Unfortunately he died 4 years ago after retireing from United Airlines. I would like to get/buy a Fat Cat Squadron patch if there are any out there. I am a Colonel in the Commerative Air Force and would like to add the patch to our collection of patches in the High Sky Wing. Thank you for your consideration.

Comments: I was born in Tachi in July of 53. My father, Harry Nikitas, captain at the time I believe, was there until approx. Sept of 53. I was 2 months old and took a boat back to Frisco. I still have sterling silver cups from the "Fat Cat's Officers Wives". I will treasure these forever as it's the only rememberance of my place of birth.
Did anyone out there remember my father? Luckily he is still alive and 3 out his 4 children are pilots so we get to frequent the local airport and sometimes discuss missions and experiences.
Regards, Tom

This interested me and I was wondering if anyone could tell me about their experiences durring the Korean War, and if they could relate to it being called "the forgotten war." This information would greatly be appriciated. Thank you.
