Looking for anyone that may have served with my dad in Korea, Joe Egan
from South Boston, Ma. Around 1950. He did not talk much about that but
extremely affected. He suffered greatly! He was the poster child for what
now is diagnosed as post traumatic stress disorder. My limited research
shows many did not speak of their experiences. My mom says he came
home a very different man that went in. He served first at the end of wwII.
When discharged the army paid them a few hundred dollars to stay
active.... They did not know of the conflict, but he was home only a couple
of weeks before being called back up to be the first in the Korean War. I
hope there are still some around to tell their stories!
