Comments: I'm looking for information on my grandfather, Lawrence (Larry) Thibodeaux, SFC, USA RET. He passed away several months before I was born in 1989. He was with 1st Ranger Co. and is mentioned in the preface to Col. Black's book Rangers in Korea. I really don't know much about him, and my uncle somehow has control over all of grandpa's military stuff (although he never served in the military like my dad and I both did). I'm looking to see if anyone has any anecdotes or other information they would be willing to share. He was also with 10th SFG in Vietnam. If you're able, please contact me at my aforementioned email address. Thanks.

from spending all my free time with him, he really love to see his

I have a (1964?)photo of him with two orphans from Happiness Orphanage, 20 orphans driven weekly to chapel by orphanage father via bus. One child in the picture is Goo Sooni, an Amerasian, about 11 yrs. Her mother: Jung Song Ja, "Mickey" to GIs, from Pubwon-ni, near MIckey Mouse Corner.
Just before chaplain returned to US, he took Sooni to Elvis movie, "Viva Las Vegas" and to base cafeteria for hamburg. The chaplain left "a lot of money" with Sooni's mother to "take care of Sooni".
Sooni was rescued by the author, Pearl S. Buck, brought to the states, is now married, a mother of two grown sons, middle school math teacher and a strong supporter of the Pearl S. Buck efforts to care for Amerasian children around the world.
I am writing Sooni's memoir. She would like very much to thank the chaplain for his kindness. My husband and I are trying to find the gentleman for her.
If anyone has any inkling as to the identification of this chaplain, any source for our search, or whatever, we do not have his name and would appreciate very much any help someone might be able to give. Bless you. Carol Wedeven
If you're interested, we will send digitized photo.

Upon deactivation of the 1st Co, in August 1951, we were both assigned to Co. I, 187th Airborne at Beppu, Japan. After a few weeks with Frank in Japan, I volunteered for reassignment to Korea and was assigned to the 8th Cav Reg't, then Co. F, 38th Infantry. While with the latter unit, I saw Frank at Koje Do in May 1952. I returned from Korea in Nov 1952 and have never heard from Frank since that time. Believe I have a photo of us both in my album. Frank was a good soldier and a nice fella.
