My Dad Ray), a WWII vet was serving in Korea. He was granted emergency leave to be present at my birth. Doctors did not expect my Mom and me to both survive. They wanted my Dad near in the event they could only save one, He would have to choose; His wife or his son. As it turned out we both survived. I learned later that my Dad's unit was later destroyed. He lived a life of guilt believing he should have been there and died with his men. I was told growing up that I saved my Dad's life by being a problem pregnancy. I think he hated me for that. I am glad I was not an orphan. He served nearly 16 years in the Corps. Like many vets, he wouldn't talk about it. Keywords:

LYNN BERKY wrote on May 31, 2011 City and State: JONESBORO AR Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My dad was a Navy Corpsman attached to the 1st Marine Division in Korea. He participated in the battle at Chosin Reservoir and was wounded. He returned home and married Barbara Lynn Dickson of Heber Springs, Ar in 1953. He was the proud father of 4, myself, the oldest am Lynn Wood Berky. I have a brother David Michael Wood, Sisters Jeanne Wood and Dana Wood Tull. He had five beautiful granddaughters, all of whom he knew except the last. She was named after him, Samantha Wood. She was born five months after he passed away. He died from cancer on Oct. 12, 1993. He never was one for the medals and honors bestowed upon him, never talked about the war with any of us save my mom and my brother. He went into that war a very compassionate, religious and generous man. He came back with the same qualities but with an added sadness that plagued him the rest of his life, along with chronic damage to his feet from frostbite. He didn't have the temperament to have been there but serve he did, as did all who were called to go. He never recovered from what he experienced there. I hope that he made the lives of the men he treated for their injuries just a bit more easy. He cried because he couldn't save them all. If anyone out there has any memories to share please let me know. I want to know more about my fathers youth that the Korean War stole from him. Thank you for letting me pour my heart and pain out in this way. It helps me to talk about him. Sincerely, Lynn Wood Berky Keywords: Shorty or J.S.
