Comments: This was my uncle, my grandmother was his mother. I have the same picture from my grandmother that is posted on this website. His life ended on the date of my first birthday. I was only a toddler when he died, but I feel as though I knew him through the stories my grandmother told me. I miss him.

Comments: WITH THE KOREAN WAR TRUCE ON 27,JULY,1953, AT PANMUNJOM, ENDING THREE YEARS OF FIGHTING IN KOREA, THE US MARINE CORPS LOOKED BACK AT THE PRICE OF LIBERTY IN HUMAN COSTS, WHICH IS ALWAYS HIGH, AND THE KOREAN WAR WAS NO EXCEPTION. US MARINES CASUALTIES TOTALED OVER 30,000; JUST OVER 4,500 US MARINES GAVE THEIR LIVES IN KOREA. FORTY-TWO US MARINES WERE AWARDED "THE MEDAL OF HONOR",FOR HEROISM ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY IN KOREA; TWENTY-SEVEN OF THESE AWARDS WERE POSTHUMOUS. THOUGH SOMETIMES VIEWED AS AN "INDECISIVE" CONFLICT, THE US MARINE CORPS CAN TRULY BE PROUD OF IT'S ROLE IN STEMMING THE TIDE OF COMMUNIST AGGRESSION DURING THE KOREAN WAR.

Comments: Dear Johnny, this is your childhood friend from Rego Park, NY. about 1957. We were buddies and paled around with each other all the time. I lived across the street with my family. We had a babysitter named "Ruthie Schwartz" who had C.P. We used to go play where Lefrek City was being built. Once you lost your shoes in a swampy area there. You used to wear your father's jeep cap all the time. I remember that you had alot of sisters. I have been thinking about you and your family all of these years and trying to get in contact with you. I am profoundly affected by the loss of your father in Korea and want you all to know that he is not forgotten. Please contact me. Do you happen to know what happened to Ruthie?

Comments: I am a Military History student at UNT and a former Marine. I am doing research on the Marines in the Korean War. I need to interview some Marine veterans of Korea who now live in Tarrant County, TX, or who lived there when they joined the Corps. Any phase of Korea is fine, 1950-1953. It is vital that the memories of those who were there are not left out of the historical record and too many people today forget or never knew what Korea was like. Any help is greatly appreciated Semper Fi --Josh Montandon

Baker was from Idaho or Nevada, I can't remember which. We went on all-night patrols in front of the lines and shared a hole in the ground for several months. We were also together at Camp DelMar, CA after we were rotated back to the states. He was famous for his renditions of Al Jolson songs.

I am looking for ANY vets frm the Korean War who live in Florida or S. Georgia who would be interested in telling their stories.
I can send/fax/e-mail an Overview, Script, and Release. AS time passes, veterans depart. I want their stories to be recorded so future generations can learn of their sacrifices. Any assistance you can render will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Sgt. Nils V. Ingemansson

Hi!
I found this article, from a newspaper:
Sgt. Nils V. Ingemansson, attached to Fourth Recruit Training Battalion
here at the Depot, will receive the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism
while serving as a squad leader with the Fifth Marines, 1st Marine
Division, in Korea on September 6 and 7, 1952.
His citation reads, in part, as follows: "When his unit was attacked by
numerically superior hostile forces while defending a combat outpost
well in advance of the main line of resistance. Sgt. Ingemansson bravely
took up a position on top of a bunker in the face of an intense hostile
artillery and mortar barrage and delivered devastating fire upon the
attackers to prevent the enemy from penetrating his sector of the
perimeter, personally killing 15 of the enemy with rifle fire and
dispersing many others with hand grenades. Sergeant Ingemansson was
directly instrumental in the successful defense of the entire position."
and it showed to be my grandmother's brother.
Is this correct?

thank you for your timely reply. i spoke to my dad and unfortunatly
he does not remember the unit. he called a few remaining buddies
and they were not too much help either. but one of them who was
in the 7th seems to think he was in the 5th and not the 7th.
Hopefully something will come up soon, as pop has been reuniting himself
with as many ''old soldiers'' as he can find. also i failed to give you
my fathers phone number, (718) 381-4392.
Thanks again, hope to hear some news soon.
