I was drafted JAN 29 69 AND TOOK BASIC AND AIT at Ft Polk,LA. I was sent to the 7th Inf Div, HHC and Band Camp Casey Korea. I was the driver for the S4 officer and as such had to take him to all 7th Inf Div units on the DMZ monthly. I need to find military records for my job there, I was at Camp Casey from 30 June 69 to 30 August 70. I have parkinsons disease and peripheral neuropathy and have filed an Agent Orange claim, but need these records to prove what I did. We were very close to the DMZ at Casey, but roads to DMZ were primitive dirt pigtrails with foliage that had to be sprayed to eliminate surprise attacks from North Korean infiltrators.

My father is Jesse C. Bowes, Sr. He served in the Army and Air Force. He trained in Lackland, San Antoinio, Texas. He was then transferred to Arlington, Washington working on the radar fields and tearing down old buildings. The buildings contained asbestos. He re-upped and went to Fort Jackson, SC and then Fort Bragg, NC. He trained in the blister gas chambers, was exposed due to faulty equipment but the officers would not send him to get medical help. He served in the 319th Artillery and 101st and 82nd Airborne as a paratrooper. His service records were burned in the 1973 fires. He has been suffering with asbestosis since getting out of service in 1959. In the last several years his breathing has gotten worse and worse. I finally convinced him to go to the VA for health issues in 2006. 3 years ago I finally convinced him to try to get disability because he was exposed while in service. We have been battling for 3 years, numerous forms, calls, letters, medical records, he is 87 and needs help. Does anyone have suggestions?

I serviced in the army with the 13th Engineers in 1955-56. In 1956 a buddy of mine died in a accident. He was the company electrician and was removing the wire on a utility pole that was being replaced. Well the pole went down with him on it, and he was crushed. I think (not sure) his name was Larry(Lawrence Sloan) and he was from a southern state. Do you have records of any man dying in the 13th Engr in the year 1956. I am sure of the year. Thank you

My Dad was Sgt. Gerald (Jerry/JED) McCarte. From what I know, he went to URI on a Football scholarship then left to go to the Korean War. He made it through, got married, had kids...apparently was never really the same - sadly. Could have been from football, who knows. My proudest moment of my dad was when the military played taps and handed me the flag at his funeral. Although my dad didn't lose his life he lost himself for his country. He was a part of that blanket that covers us. Anyhow, A very close friend just posted a picture of her dad who also fought in the same war (Derig) It made me think...They could have fought together...I wanted to ask if any one knows how I could find out who my dad fought beside.

He is from West Virginia and was enlisted twice. He was only out a few months from Korea when he re-enlisted and went to Tokyo.
Does anyone have any information on him or any of the people he may have been involved with? Do you know where I may find more information on his military life? He passes away when my father was only 9yrs old so he does not remember much and I (obviously) never got to meet him.

In summer [July?] 1951 he traveled by train from Columbia, SC [Ft. Jackson] to Chicago; and then from Chicago to Seattle, WA.
He boarded a troop transport in Seattle and sailed across the Pacific Ocean. He may have gone to Korea via Japan.

Only in the last three years have we learned he served in Korea in 1952, was wounded in battle (DD 214 has no record of wound). We do not know his unit in Korea, but he told the story of his company of 118 men being almost wiped out in a battle and he as a corporal being the highest ranking survior of the company. His colonel was later killed in another action. I know it is not a lot to go on, but just throwing it out.

I'm hoping to get information regarding the unit and time served by my father, DALE STICKNEY. He served from late 1949-1852/53. He served with the 25th Armored Reconnaissance Company during the Korean Conflict. I believe he was stationed in Osaka, Japan until US troops were sent in to Korea. He was involved in the Puson invasion and all other major action in Korea until he left the military in November, 1952 or 1953. My father passed away in March, 1977. I'm trying to put together a better understanding of his time in the service. If anyone has information that could help me understand what he endured as a 17-20 year old man.

I am looking for anyone that was there with my dad. I found his citation for his Silver Star and Purple Heart medals on www.koreanwar.org. It reads:
Olson, Robert L.
Private First Class Robert L. Olson, Battery D, 15th AA AW Battalion (SP) distinguished himself by gallantry in action near Sendoi-ri, Korea, on 1 December 1950. On this date, Private Olson was a member of on automatic weapons crew which was protecting a convoy of trucks evacuating wounded from the Chosin Reservoir area. An enemy rood block had been reported destroyed by our troops, and Private Olson went forward to verify it. Upon passing the point where the road block had been, the party suddenly received heavy automatic weapons fire from a hitherto unseen enemy position. While the rest of the party took cover, Private Olson singlehandedly, and with utter disregard for his own personal safety, attacked the enemy position. By his extremely heroic action, he killed the enemy gunner notwithstanding the fact that at the time it was dark and he did not know how many enemy were present in the position. The enemy weapon was silenced and the convoy was able to proceed on its way. His display of gallantry on this occasion reflects great credit on the military service. Entered the military service from Iowa.
News Clipping - Waterloo Daily Courier
"The singlehanded destruction of a road block in Korea while he was escorting a group of wounded soldiers has won praise for a Winneshiek County [Iowa] soldier. Pfc. Robert Olson, 19-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Casper Olson, living near Highlandville, destroyed the road block after his group had been fired upon. A hand grenade, thrown after a near approach to the block is said to have scattered or killed all the occupants of the block. For gallantry and bravery in northwest Korea Olson has been awarded the Purple Heart and the Silver Star emblems." - Waterloo Daily Courier, March 18, 1951
It would bring immense joy to talk to anyone 'who was there.'
Thank you.

So my grandfather's records were burned in the fire in St. Louis. He was hurt twice while serving our country. He contacted them a few times && was told the records were being 'reconstructed'. He has since passed and it's ridiculous. He died waiting for them to 'reconstruct' his records, he never got a penny because it couldn't be proven that he got hurt. When he went into the air force he had 20/20 vision. He had a guy who didn't realize he was standing there with no mask on and the guy started the welder and burned my Papa's eyes. He traveled the world and proudly served his country without being drafted and then gets screwed out of what is was worth. He missed the birth of his first son to protect our freedom. He was a proud American and what did he get for it? He died waiting for the records to be reconstructed. He never got to receive his benefits before dying and now my grandmother is STILL waiting to receive death benefits since my grandfather passed in the VA this past October. *a whopping $250 but it's not even the amount it's the principle*
To anyone that knew my grandfather I always loved hearing his stories and now I have no stories so if by chance you knew him feel free to let me hear a story or two.

I am looking for information on my uncle who served in Korea. His name was George E. McGill, he was a SGT. He was originally assigned to a unit that worked on Chemical/Biological warfare and once exposed to too much radiation, was transferred to the infantry. My uncle passed in 1997 from cancer, and am wondering if this was partially caused by his service. Thanks

Hi - I'm writing a nonfiction book about my grandpa-in-law's time in Korea and I'm trying to pin down the accurate names of some of the men he served with. I've looked into requesting unit rosters, but after 50 years, his memory is a little fuzzy and I'm struggling to identify the units accurately --- might anyone have advice about other avenues to pursue? The people I'm trying to identify (and contact if at possible!) were all in Seoul between late fall 1952 and spring 1953, and they all either helped my grandpa-in-law with his attempts to adopt a little boy, or were witnesses to important parts of the story. This is what I know:
-Marine Colonel, no name, head of Judge Advocate General's office in Seoul in about April/May of 53 - Army Sgt. Henry Ford, head of repair and utilities at Seoul City Command as of Dec 1952, from Florida - Army Sgt. Immer, military police guard at Seoul City Command, Dec. 1952 - Army Sgt. Wayne Clarke Perry, stationed in Seoul Dec 1952, from the Midwest, had trained at Ft. Riley sometime between 50 and 52. - Army Colonel Coles or Cowles, initials may have been C.W. - head of Seoul City Command, Jan. 1953 - Army Colonel, no name, Provost Marshal for the city of Seoul in the spring of 1953

Joan,
Try contacting the VA-RMC (medical records center) in St. Louis. Their records were kept in a different place than those NPRC files that were destroyed in the 1973 fire. When your father's disability claim was orinally processed by the VA they would have made copies of his service records.

I called two county records department where my Father had resided, neither had record of him. He was drafted from Perry County Ohio, and returned to Licking County Ohio where he lived for over 30 years afterwards.
They both seemed to 'check' for his record although neither had them. So this does not seem to be a good source for records.
