Comments: Please I also was awarded a purple heart, I need to know if anyone remembers that? I have no proof. All my medals were destroyed in a fire.I would appreciate it, if anyone knew how I could find out, to replace it.I have tried and asked the VA for two years and they say they have no proof,as all the military records were destroyed, in a fire.And, that it was too long ago, to do anything about it now.So, I'm at a dead end....

November 4, 1951 information

Comments: I am writing to you in hopes anyone can provide information on the Nov 4 1951 battles. My uncle Donald Turner was with the 14th infantry and was killed November 4, 1951. Any help is much appreciated.

A Marine from either either 5th Battalion 7th Regiment or 1st Battalion 7th Regiment confirmed the following story to John C. Cheek and he has included it in his book Stay Safe Buddy.

According to A letter sent to my grand parents he was killed manning twin 50’s when he couldn’t raise the gun height enough to shoot over the bodies of the enemy and they were over run. It also spoke of the Chinese wrapping their bodies with ace bandage like material so that even if you hit them it wouldn’t bring them down.

My Dad was never able to talk about his favorite brother and we would like to keep the family history intact.

Did you know my Dad?

Comments: As an adult, I've researched the Inchon landing and Chosen-Res. Any Veterans of this should be incredibly proud, as I am of my father. My Dad survived 30+ years in the Military with two tours of Vietnam after Korea. He spent the Winter of 1950-51 at the Chosen Res. His name was Rhodes Wayne Harper (Wayne) and was a machine gunner with the 1st Batt. 7th Marines. Wondering if anyone knew him then. He would have been about 21 years old at CHosen. Tim

Attached to Dog,Fox, 5th marines

Comments: Posting for my beloved Father. Need someone to tell me about his units. He told me as a child to remember FOX and DOG. I was 10yrs old and asked him if he dug like a dog and his answer was "no but we lived like dogs". I never knew until these past months what he meant. His papers with his purple heart notification says 1/3/5 but from all my reading and his statement to me as a child indicates he was "attached" to "DOG or FOX". Does anybody out there remember a tall middle aged man with a moustache and good sense of humor that could drink a fish under the table? Was Veteran of WWII(Raider 4th battalion) have pictures of the men listed below but dated in 53. Following paper trail that indicates he went to the 3rd div,1st battalion,4th marines. He left the Marines in Camp LeJeune in 1956 and left this world in 1963. God Bless the USMC and each of you boys that went to that Hell Hole.

LOOKING FOR WOUNDED MARINE

Comments: PLEASE HELP ME FIND HIM.

Keywords: The Corpsman needed help carrying a Marine whose left leg had been blown-off at the thigh. We carried him down the hill, across the rice paddy, through the wire to a medical truck. He called-out "I don't want to die" over and over. This Marine was about six feet two inches tall, about 180 pounds, and spoke with a northern metropolitan accent. We told him that he wasn't going to die, and that he was going home now. We didn't have our names on our uniforms in those days. I didn't get his name. I had to carry more ammo and water up the hill again. It would be more than comforting to know that he survived. It was a brief encounter, but it is engraved in my memory forever.
