Comments: I served on Bloody Ridge,an outpost of Sandbag Castle, and on Outpost Charlie in the Christmas Hill Area. Our platoon leader was Lt. Bourque. I would like to get in touch with Bob McGregor, Pete Hrudrowski, and the company medic, whose last name was Markum. I would also like to hear from the 4.2 mortar forward observer who spent some time with us on Bloody Ridge. His first name was Dobie. Matt Kelsch

Comments: My grandfather, Hugh E. McConnell was a Korean War Veteran--he passed away October 12, 1990. I have old letters and little information.
I know he earned a Bronze Star, and he was injured in the line of duty, something to do with a jeep, explosion, I think. I only have a few details, but I'm eager to piece together this part of my family history. My grandmother may be able to help me out some.
The reason my family has so little information is he was an only child and he conceived no children biologically--for reasons related to the duty injury. He came home and married my widowed grandmother, who was 31 with two small boys. He raised them as his own and I was his only grandchild. You can imagine how I was spoiled.
With a four-year-old of my own, I would like to be able to tell my son more about the man who raised me. Some of the letters were lost before I received what was left--and I am tracking down others who knew him.
Right now, I know he planned to come home around January/February 1953 by way of Japan.
In any direction you could send me would be greatly appreciated. I've just begun this search.
Sincerely,
Amy Hallman

Some have told us it could be related to gases used in the war and to the asbestos coated ships ya'll travelled in. Daddy didn't talk much about the war and didn't consider himself a hero. He earned a purple heart, was wounded at Heartbreak Ridge, I don't remember if he ever said which company he was in. Any information about the war would help me and my kids understand why he kept it to himself.

Unfortunately, there are some gaps in the info, i.e. how he died; where he specifically was and their mission; etc. Also, he is not Malayan, he was born and raised in Wailuku, Maui with his other 20 brothers and sisters.
I am trying to get as much information as possible about him for my Father (his brother), who was also in the Army stationed in Germany at the time of Edwards’s death. As you can imagine he did not know of this until years later when he came home on leave and his mother took him to Edwards’s gravesite. She was not given any info on his service or death, so they were unable to really memorialize him. My father tried unsuccessfully to get some of this information from the Army up until he retired from the Army himself. Additionally, during my 24 years of Air Force service I also made numerous requests to the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis with no responses to any of my requests. Any assistance or information you can provide will be greatly appreciated, as my father is one of the last remaining children and would like to do this for his brother. Thank you.

He returned as a Sergeant and was awarded the Purple Heart and Silver Star. My prized possession is the "45th Infantry - Thunderbird Review" yearbook that he received upon his return. Sadly, my father passed away at age 44 due to a heart attack. At the time, I was only 14 and never really talked much about the war with him.

Comments: My Granddad doesn't talk much about the war, but I can tell he is extremely proud, and as he gets older and so do I, he talks to me more and more. I'd like to do something to show him how proud I am that he served our country in Korea and am looking for any information that anybody may have about him.. His name is Gene Harmon and he is from South Dakota.
