Comments: My Dad passed away in 2008. He never talked to much about the time he spent in the Korean War. Only after quite a few drinks was he able to tell a few stories. The war profoundly affected his personality and the rest of his life. It also affected mine as Dad was not one to show much emotion and was happiest being by himself fishing. If anyone can shed some light on my Father or serviced with him in Korea, please share with me. Dad was in 14th Combat Engineers, Company B.
Thanks!

He died of wounds while protecting his men while they were defending an MSR during 11-12 Aug 1950. In mid 80's the 14th Eng constructed a dirt airstrip for C-130 a/c at Camp Roberts and named the field after him. It is now paved and active in supporting UAV programs. I have a copy of the AAR of the action and a copy of the citation. Anyone with information please contact me.

I am interested in knowing where this unit was during that time and details of exactly what they did. My dad never talked much about the War, and never told us what he did to earn three bronze stars.

Comments: My dad doesn't talk alot about Korea and I hate to continue asking him so I'm trying to find info for him this way. He was a POW and he gave me the following information. I'm not sure what all the numbers are because I forgot to write down what they meant but here goes.... 14 (which I believe was 14th Battalion) 81 (?) and 667. Don't know where to go from here. All of his medals were taken by his ex-wife many years ago and I am trying to find a way to have them replaced or something. If anyone knows which way I should go please contact me. Also if anyone knew him then please contact me so I can let him know. This is the only way I can show him how proud I am of his courage and commitment to our country. Thanks
