Comments: At the height of Tet offensive in Vietnam, I was assigned to S. Korea. My MOS after basic trained me for being a Petroleum Specialist. Just before arriving in Korea, 8th Army was ramping up defenses, including beefing up trained personnel in the 121st Evac Hospital in ASCOM city, near Bupyong. My MOS was changed via OJT and I became a Lab Tech, working first in Pathology, assisting in autopsies, then all the stations in the lab specializing in doing blood/serum analysis and blood banking. My wife came a few months after I arrived and we rented space in the home of a local Korean family. We made many friends, both GI and civilian. Korea left me with many fond memories.

Comments: Looking for military members who served near dmz an shipped out on mats flights from Kimbo afb to Travis afb via Vietnam in early 1965. It is needed if anyone is still alive to substantiate Agent Orange Claim. The plane from Kimpo landed in Vietnam for maintenance and we were tdy there temporarily until they got another MATS flight to take us to Travis AFB, CA. The airforce when contacted for verification stated all flight manifests from that period have been
destroyed. Therefore my claim cannot be processed and any transfer orders or flight mannifests are not in my military records at c the military records center in st Louis. I need basically some buddy statements that remember this. Thank you.

My dad Ronald Finwall served in the Korean conflict from 1956 to 1958. My dad passed away recently. I requested his military records. I was informed they burned in the 1973 fire. They said if I had a unit number they could do additional research. I recently found an old book that my dad engraved US 555163308, 121 Evac Hosp, APO 971, S.F. Calif Korea. Can you give me any indication where he served in Korea with this information?

Comments: Hi, I am trying to find any info/medical records on my biological mother and sister. It is a good chance that my sister was born at this 121st MEDEVAC hospital in 1972-1973. Her given name was Barbara Santiago and my mother's name was Chin Su, possibly Chin Su Chan but the surname is of Chinese descent so I'm not sure if my Dad has the correct name. My sister and I were put into a Catholic orphanage in Seoul a few years later & my Dad was stationed in the States & only learned of this before we were to be adopted. My sister was adopted before he could reunite with her but I was able to join him in the States. So now we are searching for my sister, we have not had any luck in years, and I'm hoping to find anything to help us. Thank you.

Comments: My name is Chuck Clemente. I worked in the pharmacy at the port of Inchon in 1969 and 1970. It was not far from the Olympus hotel and casino. In fact you could see them both up on the hill if you were standing outside of the dispensary. I heard that the name of the hotel has been changed to the Paradise Hotel and the casino has closed and moved to another hotel. I remember the nearby bars in Inchon...the California Club....the Harbor Light and a few more. I heard the whole area there has really changed and looks a lot better than it did when I was there. Would like to hear from others who were there around the time I was. Anyone out there who was in the 119th Med. Detachment? The unit was renamed The Inchon Dispensary in 1970. Any veterans out there who were in the 503rd M. P. Detachment which was located on the same base?

Comments: I'm trying to find a medical record of my being in the hospital for a severe asthma attack in 1964
I remember being in a large room all by myself and after several weeks when I was allowed to leave I went down the longest hallway I have ever seen in my life, longer than the old hospital at Fort Carson, CO. I was handed my records and hand carried them to the medic at Camp Casey and that was the last time I saw them. There is no record of this in my military medical records and I'm wondering if there is a duplicate somewhere in the hospital. I think I was at the 121st.
