Looking for anyone who knew Loren Steele, Wichita, Kansas

Comments: Hello, My name is Matt Tener, and I'm looking for anyone who knew my wife's grandfather Loren Steele from Wichita, Ks. I know he was in the Marine's in Korea, unfortunately, that's about it. I've tried numerous times to find out more about his experience, but he will not talk about it to this day. The only time he ever confided in me, was in telling a story about needing an emergency appendectomy at Camp Pendleton. My father-in-law says the he was in the 1st Division, and operated a machine gun, but I have no idea who he served with and where specifically.

I am finding out more and more about what the conditions were like in Korea, and my respect for Korean War veterans grows. I know that those soldiers came home to indifference, when they should have had a hero's welcome. I am proud to know at least one Korean veteran, and I hope one day, he can get those demons out of his past and into the light. I know what those soldiers went through was beyond belief but I, along with many others, appreciate it.

Thank you to all those that have served in the defense of this great nation and in the defense of democracy. Sincerely, Matt Tener

1KMC-AG

Comments: I was a radioman, part of Hq. Bn. 1MarDiv, attached to the USMC Advisory Group to the 1st Korean Marine Brigade, backed up against the hills near Kumchon-ni, North of Seoul. I remember that 1st Tanks were across the valley from our position. We were in tents and had to break the ice in water buckets to wash ourselves but when we left, the US army moved in and put up buildings, showers, etc. for a more permanent site. When the Division returned to Pendleton, those of us who were left were put in with the remainder of the DMZ Police and West Coast Island Defense Units to form an Honor Guard for a few months. Then I went to radio platoon Hq. Co. until I shipped over and went to El Toro to fly with VMR 152. Anybody out there?
