Comments: I arrived late '54 and was surprised at the desolation of the area. I cannot remember any names as we left to return CONUS on April 1, '1955. If anyone is looking in this space for memories, I'd like to hear from you. I'm active in the 1st MARDIV assn in SoCal and if you are close, we can make a meeting and share stories.
I regard our time in Korea as very interesting and have found several Korean natives here in SD and communicate with them regularly. I HOPE to go to the reunion in '10 in Seoul.
