If there is anyone that sees this that use to be part of his company that remembers him, or is a good friend and wishes to contact him on his birthday 31st of July I would love it if you did.
I am now part of the military and spent a year in Korea visiting as many of the places that he had told me about where he fought and where he had been on the pennisula while I was stationed there.
I was in Korea during the 50th Anniversary of the Korean War, I see it as a rememberance other than an anniversary knowing of all the fine men that lost their lives fighting for the freedom of the South.
On his birthday I will be sending him a piece of the wire that now sits at the 38th Paralell or better know as the DMZ. It was presented to me by the President of South Korea and I feel he deserves this piece of wire more than myself.
For all those who served with H-Co 4th Platoon Machine Gunners, thank you for keeping my grandfather safe, if it wasn't for him, I would not be here today.
If you wish to contact him on his birthday, please send me an email with your contact information and your relation to my grandfather and I will make sure you get his phone number

Comments: After years of listening to Billy Joel's song, "We Didn't Start the Fire", I've only now taken interest in all the events he describes in single-word and one-sentence sequence. Knowing nothing about Panmunjom, I went to the link that ultimately lead me to the recounting of Return to Heartbreak Ridge. My residence in Hawaii adds to the interest I've taken in reading of Herbert Pililauu, and learning briefly about just this one soldier's life and contributions to the war unerscores the travesty of the fairly lackadaisical attitude I've had toward the Korean war and those who fought in that, and all previous wars. At 43, I'm now virtually assured of living a lifetime free of ever fighting in war, and only lately have I really begun to appreciate what others have sacrificed so that I, along with millions of other Americans, could live a life of peace, freedom, happiness, and prosperity.
