Comments: Since he lived most of my life in Korea and Okinawa my only contact was through letters, and they were few. I have very little in sence of who he was or where he came from. I know he was from Walpole, MA and a little about his life while he was still maried to Dorthy Brown Trahan, but alas it all falls short of who he really was. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Mary McGuire wrote on 2004-07-19 07:54:45.0
Comments: Looking for stories/info on my father John McGuire. He was a corpsman attached to the 2nd battalion 1st marine reg, 1st marine div. He didn't speak much about his experiences. I do know from his records that he participated in the assault and seizure of Inchon, the capture and securing Seoul, and the Wonsan-Hamhung-Chosin campaign. I do know that he received a Purple Heart- it seems he was tending a wounded marine when a grenade was thrown. He layed over the marine to protect him and received shrapnel(?) to the left side of his neck and left arm. My father was a good man, very strict on us 16 kids, but still good at heart. Just curious as to what he did,saw etc. that molded him into the man I knew. Thank you Mary C. McGuire Daughter of a corpsman!

He never talks about his years in the Marines. He was awarded the Puple Heart and the Silver Star. I believe he also served along Chesty Puller as possibly and aide.
