Comments: Leonard "Doc" Warram, served with the Marines in Korea. May have been known as Glen, Len, or Lenny. I know he was at Pusan, Inchon (Walmido), and the Chosin. I have many photographs taken by my father during the war 1950. Most of the photos are of the 1st Marine Div hospital, George Company 3-7, and 1st Amtrack Battalion at Masan. Some body counts of the enemy too. I am willing to share them. Dad was an artist and has a beautiful scrap book of his time in Korea. I think he drew the sketch on the Division Newspaper which was passed out as the unit returned to the states. It looks like his handwriting and is identical to a color sketch on the inside cover of his scrap book which he did. The newspaper also had a letter from Chester Puller and Forrestal.

p.s. Did the 1st Provisional Marines stage a practice landing at Iwo Jima on their way to Pusan?

Comments: Throughout his life, my father said virtually nothing of his service in Korea of more than fifty-years ago--that is, with the exception of the following two items: If a telephone call came for him while he was involved in a televised weekend football game at home, he always advised us, his family, to tell the caller, "No...he's not here just now. He's in Yong-dong Po, and he won't be home until Christmas." Second, upon hearing the all-too-ubiquitous phrase 'Korea: The Forgotten War,' he was inclined to acidly reply, "G-- D--- --! You didn't forget it if you were there!!"

My everlasting respect and gratitude to the men of that bitter, bloody, overlooked war--your profound sacrifices' in Korea were perhaps too many and too severe for the rest of us to even begin to imagine. However, judging in part by the goose-stepping, tommy-gun carrying North Korean troops I saw on television last week--I would be more than willing to say that your presence in Korea a half-century ago was not without reason nor necessity.

Comments: Re: Weapons Company, 7th Marine Regiment, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines; USMC SGT. Timothy "Root" Young (Korea July 1951- January 1953)

My Father, Sgt. Young, Left the ship USS Newport News, in July, 1951 to go ashore and fight with the Wpns.Co. 3rd Bn 7th. Marines Regiment, 1stMarDiv, in Korea. He was at that time the youngest USMC Sgt. in Korea (He had lied about his age to join them). He fought heroically, receiving a battlefield commission for saving a General's life from machine gun fire. He was selected to represent (carried the colors) the entire 1st Marine Div. in Ike's inaugural Parade. Before leaving Korea, General James A. Van Fleet gave a farewell review to the "collection of heroes" (including Sgt. Young) from the 8th Army who were selected to march in Eisenhower's inaugural parade. Gen. Van Fleet called them "the greatest collection of heroes that perhaps has ever been assembled - significant of a great Army." Does anyone have information on his company's movements from July, 1951 through January, 1953?

Comments: My brother and I are looking for information on Donald Turner (our uncle). 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. Apparently a marine from the 1st Marine Division - either 5th Battalion 7th Regiment or 1st Battalion 7th Regiment related the story to John Charles Cheek "He told me that story one sunny day in the summer of 1953. We sat in the trench outside my bunker, smoked and shot the bull for 15 or 20 minutes. I think he was there to buy a bottle of whiskey from me."

Can anyone help?

My Dad was never able to talk about his favorite brother and we would like to keep the family history intact. Our other Uncle is very old now and would like to hear about Donald.

Comments: My father was in Korea about 8 months when his wounds sent him home. He was with a gunning battalion, I remember him talking about bazooka and trench warfare. I believe he was wounded 5 miles north of the parallel. I would love to talk with any Marine that may have served with him-- G-3-7 of the 1st. We do have some photos, would love to share. Thanks

Comments: I just found out about this site and have read a lot of the letters . They are interesting ;it made me think back .Like when a co.makes a day light assault on a hill and 24 come back.You are told you did a good job and you deserve a rest but that night your told you have to lay barb wire in front of the line . I also like it when some of younger ones say Dad can't remeber, hey we were kids and only wanted one more hour or better yet just to get warm . Thanks for the memories.

Looking for the young Marine that I helped drag up Hill 1252 after the Chinese counter-attack. He was wounded in the legs. He was a member of Geroge Company. Also looking for Cpl. Perryland F. Philbrick from Maine.
