Looking for a Marine

Comments: September 23,1950 we jumped off our first assault on Seoul. I was in a heavy machinegun platoon assigned to fire overhead support for the assault. I was a section leader which included two squads. After we set up our guns I spotted about a company sized group of the enemy accross the valley from us. We engaged in a firefight with the group and eventually destroyed them. We burned out the barrels on our guns. I told on of my squad leaders sgt Gold to take over while I went for spare barrels. I ran toward the rear and when I dropped into a gulley Where I was met with a Mortar shell. I was blown back and when I regained my senses I heard the sucking sound and I knew I had a chest wound, Looking down I saw I was bleed from the abdomen as well. I called for help and no one came. The first thing I did was pray, I then took off my gear, keeping my Colt .45. I then clasped my hands over my wounds and set out for the rear. I came upon a froup from the ROK Army and fell in front of them and asked them to help me. The first guy ripped my watch from my armn another was digging for my wallet. I saw a large figure appear. It was a Marine with what I thought was a BAR. He convinced the Koreans to carry me to the aid station. He also got my watch and wallet back. I was immediately given blood in both arms and legs. I was then put in a helicopter and flown to Kimpo for a flight to Japan. That Marine saved my life and I've never known who he was. I've submitted letter to a couple magazines and haven't found him. My family and I would like to thank him and maybe share a beer with him. I've managed to live a good life with my family. I'm still doing well as far as health goes. I often think of that Marine hoping he survived the war.

The Search For PFC Paul Tipton Baker, KIA. Where Is He Laid To Rest? Mission Accomplished

Comments: Our search was twofold. First, we were looking for family who might still be alive, who were related to Pfc. Baker, and second, find where he was layed to rest.

With our Tennessee friends assistance, we found Pfc. Baker's obithuary in the Chattanooga Newspaper. Our friend Ed tracked down the cemetary where Pfc. Baker was buried. Ed also found Paul's oldest sister, Mrs. Crisp, who resides in Chattanooga.

My Parents were planning a trip to Atlanta, and took a day trip over to Chattanooga. They met with Ed, visited with Mrs. Crisp, who unfortunately is suffering from senility or Alzheimers. She remembered very little and could only find a picture of Paul, when he was six years old.

My parents, then went to Greenwood Cemetary. There, they found the bronze plaque bearing Paul's name, along with his new rank. Cpl. Paul Tipton Baker. My father placed a bronze flag holder with an American Flag and red, white, and blue flower arrangement. He said his prayers to this brave man, thanking him for his life. The story does not end there. Since my Father's visit to Chattanooga, we have done more searching, including what happened after September 24, 1950.

My Father knows that Paul died, not on Sept. 25,1950, as his records with the military say, but September 24, 1950. My Father said, they were just outside of Seoul, when he awoke, stood beside his foxhole, and reached for his weapon. He was instantly shot, the bullet going through his right leg, shattering bone, before entering into his left leg. He said a Marine he vaguely knew, ran over to his side and pulled him into the foxhole. That Marine was Pfc. Baker. My Father said he heard another shot, and Pfc. Baker did not move.

A Medic came to check on Pfc. Baker, pulled him off from my Father, and assisted my father with dressings for his wounds and pain medication. When my Father asked about Pfc. Baker, the Medic shook his head. They were unable to evac my Father for several hours. When they did, they couldn't remove Pfc. Baker's body until the next day.

Also, since the visit to Chattanooga, my Father has talked more about that day. He is receiving counseling for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Through other information from the military, we also found out that Paul's family did not know the circumstances of his death. He is listed as Killed In Action.

The Journey, my Father and I started last fall does not have a Happy Ending. It never will. There is no such thing as closure. There never will be, especially when it comes to War. There is only a search for inner peace, and that can be accomplished with your loved ones.

We continue to search for more of Paul's family, to let them know of Paul's heroic act. We know he had five sisters, who live around the Chattanooga area.

In the meantime, with our help my Father will continue to heal and put his demons to rest.

Keywords: On 10/26/2004, I wrote a message for my Father. We were searching for the grave of Pfc. Paul Tipton Baker.

Pfc. Paul Tipton Baker saved my Fathers life almost 55 years ago, at the risk of his own. Through new friends, including Sid Shown, TNMOPH and Ed Tankesley, from Chattanooga, TN, we were able to accomplish our mission.

Anyone know James Meehan D/2/5?

Comments: All I know about my uncle is from my father (his brother). I have a real feel for the way he was in civilian life, but I have no idea what he was like the last few months of his life - as a Marine. All I really know is that he was a machine gunner. I am hungry for any information about his friendships, battles, etc. - his war experiences. He was KIA March 29, 1953 by a mortar shell. I don't know where he died. Please share what you know if you knew him.

INFORMATION ABOUT RADIO OPERATOR SAMUEL ARTHUR MILES JR.

Comments: If any one has information about my father, Samuel Arthur Miles Jr, please contact me vial E-mail (steve@kmcsonline.net). Even though it has been 11 years since his death (Jan 8, 1994), I still have questions about his experience in Korea and Viet Nam. My father was never one to talk much about his activities. I do know he was in the 2nd BN 5-Marines. He was deployed from San Diego in 1950. I have such a sad heart not knowing what he went through. I would like to preserve his history for our future generations. Any help would be greatly appreciated.apprecaited.

D/2/5 SPT 1950

Comments: I'm writing for my father, LeRoy E. Schuff, who was in D/2/5, in Korea 1950. We are looking for anyone who knew Pfc Paul Tipton Baker, served with him, anything. My father sent a note in 1999 for any family of Pfc Baker with no response. We would like to know more about him and where he is layed to rest. Pfc Baker tended to my fathers wounds, and was mortally wounded in doing so. Pfc Baker is in our thoughts and prayers daily, as I have no doubt, if he did not assist my father that fateful day on September 24, 1950, my father would not be here today, and neither would I.God Bless You
