Anyone Know Peter Richman

Comments: My father, Peter Richman (DOB 5-30-38), was in the Marines and stationed in Okinawa sometime between 1956 and 1959 (he was shipped out of Fort Pendleton, CA). He saw combat during this period but I am unclear about whether or not his mission was an "official" deployment. I would like to determine his specific unit, etc. and to contact anyone who served with him.

My father's military training appears to be associated with the 1st Force Reconnaissance Company as it was reconfigured after 1954. He was trained in scuba diving (not to mention the five ways to kill someone in hand-to-hand combat)and later did some kind of work with communications decoding. He could have been part of an early 1st Force Recon Company that was deployed to Camp Hauge, Okinawa in 1956, or part of a later 1st Recon that was deployed to Camp Schwab, Okinawa (this later Company was assigned to Force Troops, Fleet Marine Force Pacific, which supported the 1st and 3rd Marine Divisions). But there was also the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalian -- in Okinawa -- that was assigned to the 3rd Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force. Too much military lingo for me....

Raymond Lee Compton

Comments: I was born after the Korean War however my older brother Raymond served there. He would have gone into the service from southern Utah or Colorado. Due to the difference in our ages, I really never knew him well until I was grown with a young family. Before I was ever able to sit down and hear his stories of his time in Korea, he died in a car accident. I would very much like to hear from someone who may have known him there, and might be able to share some recollections of that time. I've heard second hand accounts of his stories, but would like to hear from someone who actually knew him. I would like to share them with our now large family. Thank you so much for your assistance!

Anyone who served with my uncle

Comments: My uncle, Frank Mancuso, served in the Korean War with the Marines. I'm not sure of the time frame and I don't know which unit he was with. He was from the Bronx, NY. I was only 7 or 8 years old when he left for war and I remember him as always smiling and happy. When he came home, he hardly ever smiled, moved off to Florida, and we did not hear much from him over the years. He died in a VA hospital in Alabama several years ago, so far from home. If anyone remembers him, please contact me. By the way, you Korean War Veterans have NEVER been forgotten by me.

Whitaker, James R.

Comments: I am the daughter of Sgt. James R. Whitaker and would like to know something about my father and his part in the Korean War. All I know is he served in the Marine Corp from 1951 and was injured while jumping into a fox hole and was seriously injured. He had to have one leg amputated and was blinded from the explosion. He was sent to Oxnard, Ca after being wounded for medical treatment. Originally he was from Louisville, Ky and met my mother in 1951, Goshen, In. When he was injured and sent to Oxnard hospital, I was about 1 yr. old, so his injuries happened around late 1952, or early 1953. Anyone knowing him or was there, it would be good hearing any info they may have on him. Thanks to all military personnel who have fought and died to keep our country safe and free.
