Goodbye to My Dad, One of the Chosin Few, Navy Medic

Comments: We recently lost my dad, Garland Clinton Miller, who was one of "The Chosin Few." He was a Navy Hospital Corpsman, who was with the 1st Marine Division, from Inchon to Chosin. He was awarded the Bronze Star for the rescue of a wounded Marine at Inchon. I never heard this story until I was 21-years old. When he finally told me about it, I asked him what made him expose himself to NK machine gun fire to save a Marine that might have already been dead. He looked at me and told me, "Everyone of those Marines would have done the same thing for me." That's when I realized that everyone of you veterans who served is a hero! I just wanted to let you know that there are still many of us who remember and appreciate your service.

I helped make arrangments for Robert at the LA Veteran's Cemetary. That is when I was privledged to read copies of his Silver Star citation and 3 purple hearts he received in the short time he was in Korea.I never had the privlidge to meet Bob, but I spoke with him on the phone the night before he passed. He was a true warrior, a Marine's Marine. Although his injuries from the war were devestating, he supported Julia, and made an everlasting impression on his step daughter. Keep his memory alive and live on the Marine tradition-he would (and is) very proud.

China Service 1948

Comments: I have been wondering for many years about this operation. I think in August of 1948 elements from the 1st Marine Brigade stationed on Guam boarded ship in Agana,the USS Bayfield,and I think it was her sister ship the Cavalier. I think they were AKA's or small troop transports and there were a couple destroyers with us but I can't recall their names or numbers.We landed in Tsingtao which is in North China. Scuttlebut had it that our assignment was to provide assistance for the evacuation of civilian dependants who were at the extensive oil fields that Standard Oil Ltd.held in that area. The name of our operation was Battalion Landing Team 9 (BLT9) that was stenciled on all of our supply crates on the Bayfield. I think the numeral "9" was for the 9th Marine Regiment that was on the Cavalier. While there we were billeted in what was called the German Compound which was built by the Germans during WW 2.One of our duties while there was to take Chinese Nationalist troops out to YMCA point and teach them how to use 60 and 81mm mortars. These troops were the good guys then but after the communists took over in 1949 they probably were drafted and used the training against us at the Reservoir almost a year later.We spent Xmas there and loaded out early in January of 1949 without incident.I never did see a civilian on our ship so assumed they were all on the Cavalier.After returning to Guam we were debriefed by telling us that The China Service Medal was authorized and we were issued one.I saw my SRB once but there was no mention of BLT 9 in there.Never did know where the 9th Marines came from or where they went.Over the years I have come to understand how our government works sometimes and have often wondered if the BLT 9 was a forerunner of "covert operations"? It really doesn't matter because I think the only casualty was a sailor was beat up pretty badly by some rickshaw drivers over a disputed fare.If any body out there has a differant view of the mission give me a jingle and we'll fine tune some things.

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....

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.

JOSEPH 'JOE' ALLMENDINGER

Comments: I am interested in hearing from anyone who may have been in the Marines with my Dad. He never talked about Chosin, but I found many news clippings after he died in 1991. He was a wonderful person, and I know if anyone out there did know him, they would not have forgotten him. Thought I would take a chance on this site.

Elmer Kallos - ,Chosin Res

Comments: My father served in korea under the name Elmer Kallos, his real name is George Elmer Garman. He fought and was injured at the battle at Choisen Resevoir. In many ways, us daughters lived the war through the flashbacks, nightmares and mental angish that tortured my father. It made us become caring, tolerent, empathetic adults, because we knew how my Dad suffered inside. I am very proud of him and the others that fought for people who couldn't fight for themselves. He died on May 6th, 2002, I know now, his mind is at rest.

Just now beginning to put the picture together and God what a picture it is. Please help if you can. Elgie passed away before I was old enough to understand the word "Marine". He was from Arkansas. Served in the Army at Fort Shafter and was company K boxer before he joined the Marines in 1939..

Please help me know this remarkable man I called Daddy He was wounded in 52 in Korea and was finally discharged at Camp Lejuene in 1956.

Being a Marine in civilian world wasn't easy for him and I never knew until now why. May God bless the "Marines" and their families.
