Mel Hahn Part 2

Comments: I have delayed posting this for long enough. My dad, Mel Hahn, died of a heart attack on Dec. 26th, 2000, just one day after I made his original post. I was very happy I got to see him on Christmas and have him tell me about his experience in Korea. He told me that day about his regiment and company and all his friends in the Marine Corp and the battles they were in. Up until that day he had never talked to me about his service. It kind of makes me wonder if he felt something was about to happen and wanted to let me know about his service. He told me once that while he enjoyed being a Marine, any normal person would never want to be in a war situation, and that actually being in a war is not glamourous or fun and should never be looked upon as such.

He was excited that there was a website devoted to Korean War veterens (He wasn't on the Internet and didn't know how to use a computer) and asked me to see if any of his buddies were still around. Unfortunately, I didn't get the names of anyone he served with. I figured there would be time for that later.

After getting out of the Corp, my Mom said Dad became the peaceful, kind and happy individual that I knew as my father. He started his own business and raised a family of seven children.

He had a full military funeral and I am very proud of him and the Marine Corp. The Corp instilled in him the values of courage, bravery, honesty and hard work that he passed on to all of his kids and for that we are all grateful.

The next time you get together for a reunion, please raise a drink to my dad. He loved all of you and he loved the Marine Corp. God bless you for your service to our country. Semper Fi.

Thank you all

Comments: To begin I must apologize for my lack of much knowledge in this area, but let me also say with tremendous gratitude how much I appreciate your sacrifices for freedom and America.

My uncle, Wayne E. Frisbey, USMC was a proud member of the Frozen Chosen. He never spoke much about his experiences in Korea, possibly because he did not want to relive the pain he and all of you experienced. I suspect also he chose not to discuss his experiences much was because he was a man who chose to be happy, positive, and lighthearted. I can remember one incident in particular when I was a young teen he spoke some of his experiences, but being the practical joker he was, I wasn't certain if he was having fun at my expense oe telling me the truth, which later I learned it was fact.

Ufortunately, Wayne had his final taps on September 28, 2000. If any of you rember him you may want to co
