He often speaks of his return home in December of '53. A group of troops flew into Washington state, and from there was divided into two planes. Somewhere over the Rocky Mountains they ran into a storm, and the plane he was on was the only one to make it through. He saying the pilot rejected all orders to stay on course, and flew over the storm. He would like to get in touch with this brave man, and thank him for the life he allowed him to live.

Comments: Hello, Ed:
I was looking at your question, "Anyone remember this?" in the 223rd Inf. Reg. unit section of the Korean War Project site. Well, I certainly remember the event. I was Company Commander of Tank Company the night we replaced the 5th RCT Tank Company with our tanks in the Punch Bowl and on Heartbreak Ridge. I don't specifically remember the loudspeaker welcoming the 40th, but I do remember them erecting a painted sign which said, "Welcome to the 40th Division". We underwent a terrific mortar barrage as the tanks were walked into place, and later that night, there were several limited objective attacks on the lines near where our tanks took up their positions.
In 1998, I wrote a book entitled Reminiscence of a Forgotten War, and a chapter in the book deals with that episode. As a result of the book, I was contacted by numerous veterans of the 40th Division who had read the book. Some inquired if a 40th Infantry Division tour to Korea was in the works. Subsequently, I contacted Roy Montgomery of California Pacific Tours, a veteran Korean War Association tour operator. Roy has put together an interesting trip, which is fully detailed in the
brochure which I'm sending under separate cover.
Another result of my first book was a follow-up book which I have just written, entitled Delayed Letters From Korea. This book is made up of the individual stories of 35 Korean War veterans, whose stories are now told. It is available through 1st
Books at www.1stbooks.com/bookview/10836 or by calling 1-800-839-8640. The book has just been published. I'm anxious to hear what the reaction is.

Anyone out there remember this?
In the dead of night our Tank Company replaced another TankCompany on line. We rumbled up a mountain road being as quiet as a tank could be, which wasn't very quiet. When we were in position, and things quieted down, then, all of a sudden, we were treated to a loud speaker coming from the enemy side, booming with
words in English, that went something like this,
"Welcome 40th Division, glad you are here! We wonder how your wives
and girlfriends are doing back home? Don't you wish you were back home too?"

And got to say how very sorry I was for not being
a better "friend"! I went to the Wi. Korean War
Memorial in Aug'02 to pay my respects to all of
you! I was with a few more of our good guys right
before they shipped over seas---was not fun for
those of us left back home. It most likely changed
our lives, too! Reading through his letters, I know all of the places I have been seeing on these
web sites---He (Jim) does not have a computer and
has lost his wife of 46+ years and night now does
not want to be reminded of bad things. Thank you
for having such sites as I've seen---hopefully,
someday, I can show them to him. I'm in Traverse

that he is farther away than when he was in Korea!

His name is David Snipes and he was a 2nd Lt. promoted to 1st Lt. on the ship home from Korea.
Does anyone out there know him? He will tell me nothing of his experiences. I truly wish to know more about what his units did during the war. I only found out the above units yesterday.
