Comments: Looking for any Marine who served in my unit. I was
the mess Sargent for one year from 4-1-54 until we
were transferred to Japan. I Remember some names and
nick names, Womack, Left Leg, Bugler. Feel free to
contact me anytime. I enjoyed the duty, friends and
education at 18 years old. The mess facility was
terrible when I arrived. I knew little about cooking
but I was a born trader. We graduated from WWII C
Rations to Filets. Also where is Pete ?

Comments: Ater leaveing Marine Barracks Lake Mead Base, L.V. Nevada, I served with A Co.7th Motor Transport Bn. from Oct 67 - Nov 68, I went in country in Da Nang we eventually moved up to Dong Ha. I was a section leader, seems like we had 2 gun trucks, I still hate the smell of fuel smoke mixed with cold rain on convoys. The ageing process is inter-miten about what it remembers and forgets but 41-42 yrs don't help either. Returning state sice I ended up with 13th Marines Regimental S-1, a jeep driver, from one extreme to the other. Discharged Sep 69 Sgt.

He went to boot camp at MCRD and was stationed at Camp Pendleton. He was in Korea for 11 months between 1951-1953. His MOS was 3531. The only other info I have off his DD 214 is that he was in the Reserve and Recruitment 9th Marine Corp District. Also he told me that he was in the 19th replacement draft and in the 7th motor transport.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I landed in korea a wonson in North Korea Jan 1952, served in that area till sometime in the spring we then moved south near Pamonjong. I remainded there until I was rotated, Feb 1953. I remember we had a company commander name Major Young. Hell of a nice guy. I remember that we didn't have anything but C and K rations when we first got there but we pulled a Radar and pulled out of an army supply place in Seol all we need even the best China. I also remember we had a fellow from texas that stuttered but boy could he sing. I would really like some help. My children keep asking me about things in Korea.

Comments: Something I wrote. Hope you enjoy. Let me hear from you



The United States Marine Corps Motto is Semper Fidelis   
    (always faithful)             The Marines Always Say Semper Fi

My wife, Becky, who teaches nursing, recently invited me to one of her classes? graduation ceremonies. After the ceremony, she introduced me to one of her favorite students. Her student in turn introduced me to her husband. To my surprise, she introduced me to him as a former Marine. He introduced himself as a sergeant on active duty, whose name is Sylvester Gordon . To my astonishment, he greeted me with a full hug and said, ?Semper-Fi, brother, Semper-Fi?. I backed away a couple of steps, and for the first time, looked into his eyes. He appeared to have just stepped out of a Marine Corps recruiting poster. We made small talk for a few minutes, and then he asked me when and where I had served in the Corps. I informed him that I had been in the long forgotten police action of Korea, with the First Marine Division. He looked at me with a surprised look and said, ?Sir, in no way have you or the Korean War been forgotten. I know you have not been forgotten in places that matter. Sir, you and Korea have not been forgotten in the Marine Corps. I know all about Inchon and the other great battles.? He then looked at me and said something I could not believe. He said, ?Sir, you honor me with your presence.? This was one of the few times in my life I felt as though a thank you was totally inadequate and probably sounded stupid.

   We talked for a while, and I then asked him a question. I told him that most of my adult life, people had asked me, ?What does Semper Fi mean?? To tell them it means ?always faithful? leaves out more than it explains. He said, ?All I can do with that question is to quote what is perhaps an overused phrase. To those who know, no explanation is necessary, and to those who do not, no amount of explanation is enough. However, to me, it means Marines will never return to safety without their wounded and dead comrades. Sir, that, to me, is Semper Fi?. I could not answer him.
   
   I told him that I was writing a book on the genealogy of my family and that some day I hoped to be able to write what Semper Fi meant to me. He gave me that same great smile and said, ?Sir, just think about it, and in time, I am certain you will do just that.?
I do not profess to be a poet, or a writer, but today, for reasons that I will never explain to anyone as long as I live, I have written my definition of ?Semper Fi.?

   I have written this in honor of every Marine of the First Marine Division who never returned from Korea. I have written this in memory of you because:        ©
            

{You Define Semper Fi}      

You were all so young when you died
and with all my honesty, to this day I never knew why.
All of my life I have been haunted as to why it was you and not I.
As God is my witness you define Semper Fi.

I saw some of you this very morning at 2:00 a.m.
You awakened me from my sleep screaming for help,
but as hard as I try I can never reach you.
Perhaps it?s because you look down from your place so high.
I know you are seated at the right hand of God,
You define Semper Fi.

From my same dream I saw an old man in the mirror of life
I questioned him carefully through a nervous cry
Why were they all so young when they died?
Why was it them and not I?
I recognized the old man as myself, and was shocked with his reply.
Oh you fool, do you not know why?
They were so much greater than you and I.
They were picked by God to define Semper Fi.

There are those who tell me that because of war, I am cursed.
I tell them, I saw some give it all up only a few years after their birth.
Those who tell me I must forget, I just ignore.
Do you not see? I must live with their memory all the days of my life
because out of it all they were the ones who made the supreme sacrifice
I was fortunate enough to have known them in their strife.
They were heroes enough to have been picked by God,to define Semper Fi.

I now know that in the twilight of my fall
I can live with it all, because once upon a time, in the prime of my youth
I knew a few good men who in honor stood tall.
They are the few and proud that I have known,
who made the sacrifice and answered the call.
As long as I live I will always have their picture in my mental file
because it is them alone who were picked by God, to define Semper Fi.

Comments: My grandfather was in the Korean war. He didn't say anything really about it other than he got a Korean woman pregnant. He said he was 17 when he entered the war (1959). He died two years ago and left my mother looking for her long lost brother or sister. Now my aunt(his other only know daughter) has a rare disease and might need a kidney transplant. We need as much information on him as we can get to see if the disease runs in the family. If you know Corvan Fox, please e-mail me. My grandmother never stayed around long enough to raise my mother so we are pretty much looking for a miracle. If you know where to obtain his military ID number or discharge number, I would be much obliged.

Comments:
When they heard that I was coming, they signed
a Truce--I guess I should have come earlier!

I was there right after we moved back "South"
of MUNSONI railhead. Also was there for the POW
exchange, and until the Marines Pulled out.

I don't remember names--but do have a few pictures.

I was surprised to see this on my e-mail--glad someone is doing something like this.

Comments: My father-in-law, Oscar Rojas, was part of the Marines in the 1st Division of C-Company and the 7th Motor Transport in Moon Saw Knee, Korea (7 miles south of the 38th Parallel), during 1950 and 1951. If you were stationed there and would like to say, "Hi" to him, you can reach him at (561-334-3517).

He and his wife were commercial artists; however, they are retired and live in Sunny Florida near his sisters and son.

He has told amusing anecdotes concerning "Rats' heads on sticks", as well as numerous UFO sightings--Oh, and donuts.

Comments: I Was In 7th Motor Transport in Korea from Feb. 1952 to Feb. 1953 U.S. Marines sure would enjoy hearing from anyone from that unit, we had Able,Baker Charlie, Dog and Ducks outfit also H and S.
I was in H and S as a cook, though many didn't think I was. Sorry about that. I stll have health problems from the sub-zero weather and it has always hurt me that almost no one cares about what the Korean vet went through. A neighbor boy
thought Korea was a brand of computer,
