David Wideman or Arthur Wideman

Comments: Hi. I'm trying to find out about my dad. He's 74 now and still going strong, but he is haunted by some things that happened while in Korea. I've asked him questions, but he says "please don't dig up my past, you won't love me." The words I listed in the "keywords" section is all I really know. He was part of some special section of the army that jumped from planes behind enemy lines and took care of whatever they had to do. Is that what a Ranger is? I don't even know. I'm trying to get my mother to obtain his records, but I read on the net that most records from his era were destroyed in a fire. I really want to know who my dad was - not so I can talk to him about it (cause he doesn't want to), but I just feel like I NEED to know. I would love to surprise him with replacements of his medals. Dad had them stored in the attic of his farm house and my nephew got in there and SOLD them for small change. Dad's heart was broke. I can't try to get them replaced if I don't know anything about him or his service for our country. I would also think it would be so neat to locate some of the guys that served with him. I know many are probably passed on, but I would love to find out if any are still alive. I don't know his unit or ANYTHING!!! Any help would be great. Thanks.
