Entry: 85738 1ST MARINE REGIMENT	ROBERT SILVERTHORN, CHOSIN FEW
GREG ALLEN wrote on March 20, 2013 City and State: GIRARD PA Unit: Service or Relationship: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: I was wondering if anyone knows of a machine gunner named Robert Silverthorn from the 1st Marine Division. He was wounded in action on a hill at the Chosin Resevoir, one of five that survived the battle from a squad of seventy five. He marched out and was treated for frostbite to his feet. He did not speak of his experiences to his family and as a distant relative he told me a few things when I returned from Iraq. After being discharged he was awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart but the citations do not appear in his service record. He was with the 1st from the start of the conflict until his evacuation to Japan after Chosin. Any information would be appreciated. God Bless our military.....

The Communication Platoon section of this website has a search for him and others posted in 2002 by a relative of one of his buddies. He retired from the Postal Service. I am posting this to provide closure to any of his buddies who are searching for him. My dad, all my uncles, and one aunt served during WW II. Forty years later their reunions started and the benefits to them were priceless. I have kept in touch with the surviving members of my dad's unit and they still are trying to find buddies who never got the word about the reunions. Hope this helps Skeeter McRight's friends.
