My father is Staff Sergeant Harry Weinberg. Platoon 621, Platoon 99. Would anyone know him? He has since passed away. He was trying to reach some buddies before his death.
Thank You
Linda

PLATOON 276 5TH BATTALION DEC.1,1950 FEB.1951.Platoon leaders S/Sgt. Sicklick, Cpl.Cox. If memory after 50 years can be reliable. I think most of the Platoon went to Pendleton by train and to Korea by boat. Boot camp memories, squad tents, sand fleas,cold cold nights. In Korea Joe Shatley,{Died Dec.2000] And I joined C-1-5 and were assigned to the 1st.Plt. Have lost track of other members of Plt.276. Would like to hear from you. I have the year book with all names and faces of the finest.
