Looking for Marines who knew my father

Comments: I'm looking for information on my father, Don Groves, who served in the 1/11 Marines. I'm also looking for help on research methods and sources, as the project is kind of intimidating.

My father, as far as I can tell, sailed over from Pendleton in August, 1950, then fought in the 1/11 in the Pusan Perimeter, was among the first two regiments at Inchon, helped retake Seoul, sailed into Wonsan, then moved up the MSR towards Chosin Reservoir, through Sudong, Hagaru, and Yudam-ni, where the s*it hit the fan.

Dad came down with frostbite in December, 1950, and was back in the States by March, 1951, where he met my mother and was married three months later. Always had pain in his feet. Died in 1989 of smoking-related illnesses.

We loved him dearly and I'm writing up a chronicle of his service for the grandchildren and future generations, for remembrance. If you have any information, feel free to contact me.

John Gali

Comments: If anyone knows about my dad, John Gali, from the Big Island of Hawaii, please let me know of his character in youth and his main level of communicating with regular folks. I just want to know if I am living up to his level of right-ness and teaching my children to do the same. I hope so. He was in the Marines with a special force group of sea-diving guys that dove and set explosions and also diffused bombs-that was all he could talk about. He spent the rest of his life missing his brothers in the service and serving his community. He died fishing and fell down on a rock, hitting his head while looking for his net. I just know, he kept his identity and always looked back to you boys as his true home-can anyone find him for me-to let my children get a sense of his strength and here mine (and theirs) will come from?-Thank you for your help-Danielle

Floyd L. Dixon Ssgt

Comments: I am looking for anyone that might have known my late father Floyd L. Dixon Ssgt USMC. Dad was with the Marines that landed in Puson and later Inchon. I believe he served under Chesty Puller. I am interested in knowing about how he was wounded. I have this citation for the bronze Star he receieved and I am looking for anyone that might have known him. His citation reads in part, as follows, if this helps:

"For heroic achievement while serving as a Property Sergeant of Headquarters Battery, First Battalion, 11th Marines, First Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy agressor forces in Korea on 4 December, 1950..."

Before Korea, he was a WWII Marine fighting throughout the South Pacific, joining the Marine Corps in 1939. In later years Dad was a member of the local chapter of the Chosin Few here in Oceanside CA, and returned to Korea with others in '93 for the Anniversary of the Inchon Landing.

Anyone out there that knew him I would sure like to hear from you. He passed away in 1995 and we still miss him terribly.

My husband John Gali C/1/11

Comments: I'm sorry to say that I only now been able to come here and let those of you who knew my husband John Gali that he passed away less than two months afer he posted his last message. He died (June 5, 2006) from a massive heart attack right after he got done diving at South Point, Hawaii (The Southernmost Tip of the United States). He loved the ocean but he loved the Marines more. I remember there many were times he'd come home from a day of fishing at South Point and he'd say that he ran into another marine that remembered him in Korea taking a shower in the snow. He also ran into former marines when they would come to visit Hawaii and walk into the restaurant that John was playing music. He would be so excited when someone walked up to him and told him that they remembered him. John was fortunate to have died doing what he loved doing the most. He would always tell me that he would die at the ocean. Not everyone can choose the place where they are going to passaway. He did. He was layed to rest on Saturday, June 17, 2006 at the Naalehu Community Cemetary in his hometown. It will be a year that he passed away and it seems like he left us just yesterday. We will be remembering his life at a celebration on Saturday, June 17, 2007 starting at noon in the big pavillion down at Punaluu Beach Park. John may you rest in peace! We love you!

Comments: Hello, My name is Ira Martin. I've recently began the task of documenting my Grandfather, Donald Martin "Marty"s involvement in Korea. He arrived in Korea April 1951' He was promoted to sergeant upon arrival and commanded the 1st division 11th regiment 1st Battalion Baker Battery (Gun #4?) and served till the truce talks stalemate July 1952'. Its recently come to my attention He may have fired in support of E-2-5 and or G-3-5. He recieved 6 medals altogether not/inc the new unissued Rok medal. He has yet to receive it. He is interested in any serious contacts from baker battery and any forward observers he might have encountered. He's sad the names are gone from memory; Even then, most were nicknames never to be used again off the Peninsula. I've begun documenting his divisions movements during his service with what limited resources I can get. Any Information or Resources would be greatly appreciated and reciprocal if wanted. I've got a couple maps off the web and some random references to the Marines 11th Artillery in some actual diary like info and military docs. My Grandfather has some amazing stories and even more I'd like Help to unlock. My recent interest has already begun to get things going. If interested or know of my Grandfather please contact me imartin@nycap.rr.com for additional contact info. Any Information will be extremely appreciated. I look forward to a serious response. Sincerely, Ira L Martin

A BATTERY 11TH REG

Comments: I am looking for fellow members of this battery which landed in Pusan, Aug 2, 1950 or members who joined later when the outfit became the 1st Mar. Division. I joined up with the battery the week prior to sailing from San Diego in 1950 and left on the 2nd rotation draft back to the US in March 1951. If anyone can identify the others of my battery, I would really like to contact them. Fifty years is a long time but I am sure there must be some still alive. We lost about a third of the battery in the first 7 months out of the about 160? people. I have a lot of "sea stories" to swap (it sure was cold in the Chosin Res. area)
