Comments: I am looking for my dad. Thanks to the people here at the KWP, I have found his casualty listing.
My dad's name is James A. Browne. He suffered a rather bad wound to the groin area on May 18, 1951. I am just trying to find some of his friends who may still be in contact with him.
We lost touch years ago and he has a grandson (one of several grandchildren) who is anxious to meet him. Ryan is now a Marine, like is father was, but proudly continuing the family tradition of service to our country.
If anyone out there knows Jim Browne (not the football player/actor) please get in touch with me.
I really miss my dad.

When I returned to my unit I found out they had been north to the reservoir and about half or more of my company were gone. I felt like a stranger. I was a SFC in charge of a 60mm mortar squad. Today we had rice for supper. I told my wife that almost every time I eat rice I think of Korea,and of the Chinese who carried balls of the stuff wrapped in newspaper. They left their dead and wounded--we never did.

Comments: Seeking info re MSG Ovlee Robertson's participation in actions during the Korean War. In particular, I would like to know what company and platoon that he was attached to. He died in June, 2000 and shared very little of his service during WWII and Korea. I, as his stepson, would like to know more about his service. Any info will be much appreciated!
