Comments: Your presence is requested at a "Unveiling Ceremony" on Aug 16, 2008, at 10:00am, at Glenwood Cemetery, on Washington Ave., Houston, Texas. We will be dedicating and unveiling Sgt Gerald "Jerry" O. Davis' (US Marine Corps) Headstone which we just recently received from the Department of Defense honoring Sgt Davis' actions and death while serving in the Korean War. My name is Jeri Whitehorn, and I am the neice and 'namesake' of Sgt. Gerald "Jerry" O. Davis Jr. My uncle died in what is now "The Forgotten War" on the Chosin Reservoir, Korea, on December 8, 1950. His body was returned to his family on March 21, 1955 and interred at the Glenwood Cemetery with very little fanfare. Due to a 'snafu' at the funeral home, his headstone was never ordered, and since they sold out in the late 1950's or early 1960's, and the family moving away from the area, it was not noticed until late September of 2007 when my father and Jerry's half-brother, Samuel Hill Jr., told me that his body had been returned to the States and buried in Houston. I was very deeply disturbed when I found out that one of our Nation's heroes had been left without being recognized for so long, despite the fact that he's always been my Hero. There have been 53 years of July 4th's, Flag Days, Veteran's Days, and Memorial Days that his grave has been without our country's flag to mark him as one of our heroes. With my father's help, I was able to get some of the information that was needed to order his headstone, but there was no markings regarding his Bronze Star on that paperwork. I called the V.A. in January regarding this information, and in April, received the required paperwork, along with his 'replacement medals'. My Uncle Jerry received not just a Bronze Star, but the Bronze Star with "Combat V", for a valorous deed. His headstone was ordered and subsequently received in July, 2008. On August 16th, my father, my family and I will be escorted to the cemetery by the Brazoria County Cavalry for the unveiling of the headstone and laying a wreath on the grave with all the fanfare that my uncle deserved 53 years ago. Also, in attendance will be the District 5 Marine Corps League, who are sponsoring and orchestrating the event with the generous help of their Commandant, Mr. Charles Ynman; "The Chosin Few", survivors and comrades-at-arms of the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War; The Marine Corps League Color Guard; the Texas President of the Purple Heart Association, Dave Lemec; The Gold Star Mothers; the American Legion Hall Honour Guard of Brazoria County will offer a 3-volley gun salute; the HPD Honour Guard Buglers will play 'TAPS- Echo'; the HFD Pipers will be playing the "Marine Corps Hymn" and "Amazing Grace"; and there will be representatives from Congressman Ron Paul's office as well as many other dignitaries at the ceremony. I would be honoured to have your presence at the ceremony to honour my Uncle Jerry for posterity's sake.

Tigermarkings on Marine M-26s?? |
 |

Bill Campbell wrote on 2008-07-17 15:32:06.0
Comments: Still looking for photos or verification if Marine Pershings wore tiger marking during Op's Ripper and Killer. Army units painted tiger faces on M-4, M-24 and M-46's for these two opperations, but NO Army M-26 wore that marking. Can any USMC tanker verify if yours had such markings? Some models and decal sets have been made as such but I believe they are wrong.

Marines in Op Killer/Ripper 1951. |

William Campbell wrote on 2008-06-29 07:55:43.0
Comments: Looking for documentation of Marine M-26s taking part in Op killer and Ripper, April/May 51. According to all the history I have read, this was an Army operation and there were no Pershngs involved. We had just received the "new" M-46 Pattons and I see models being built of Pershings with Tiger markings. No Army M-26 ever wore those markings and I am looking for any Marines who could verify USMC participation in these operations and that possibly their M-26s were decorated like the Army tanks. Please email.
thanks

Matthew Tener wrote on 2008-02-07 21:26:49.0
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

Charles Salovesh wrote on 2005-11-09 00:00:00.0
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?

RICHARD H. Sharp wrote on 2002-07-31 08:59:37.0
Comments: I am seeking information on the 7th RCT. I was assigned to Hq/Hq 1st Marine Division at Hungnam. Word was spread that volunteers were needed up north. I volunteered and was reassigned to the force at Hagaru.I was a PFC at the time with 2 1/2 years in the Corps.
I left for Hagaru on the 24th of November via truck convoy. I have always thought that we were still Hq/Hq personnel. I was an ammo humper on light 30 machine guns. My MOS at the time was 0331.
While reading "Breakout", and other books on Chosin, I found it interesting that others in my group were listed as 7th RCT. Major Fredrick Simpson, Lt. Charles Sullivan, M/Sgt McClung, and others. Since I was a PFC we were not well informed. Can anyone reading this set me straight.
Thanks and Semper Fi.

Comments: During the Korean war years 1951-1952 I corresponded with man of our fighting men.
Several were in the 1st. Marine division. After a few letters I stopped hearing from man of them. I have often wondered about them. Last Oct. I visited the beautiful Korean War Memorial in Wash.D.C, and wept harder than ever before in m life, because I don't know what happened to all of my friends. Unfortunately, I have lost their letters, including one signed by a long list of men saying I had been voted Miss 1st Marine Division of Korea. I remember two names; Tom Short, Paul Stevens. I would love to hear from, or about these two pen-pals from so long ago. I am no longer Alope-Toni Harding. I am an old lady known as Toni Isaac, nor am I the pretty, curvacious gal of those days, but I am the same caring peron. A long-lost pen-pal of Tom Short and Paul Steven, who would like to hear from them, or their families. Thank you.

Hello marines...looking for any Chosin marines who knew 65th RCT, 3rd Div, Hungnam '50... |
 |

Paul Clark wrote on 2000-07-17 16:34:04.0
Comments: Hello, any marines who participated during Hungnam in December 1950: The 65th RCT, attch'd to the US 3rd Div, was dispatched hurriedly to the area, albeit understrength. Their mission was to cover a sector on adjoining mountains in order to keep chinese attacks at bay, which came every night. In particular, the 65th 2nd Bn duty was to be the rear guard as troops moved south toward Hamhung, and eventually Hungnam. This unit was an all Puerto Rican RCT and little is written about them. They fended off repeated chinese attacks to aide the marines as they moved southward. Does anyone out there know of this unit? Some 65th soldiers remember the bravery of the marines as they moved south, carrying out there dead, strapped to jeeps. Many of the 65th men died as well, most froze in -40F up on the hills just like everyone else. If anyone can provide me some info. on this unit I would be very grateful.
