Apparently when Operation Showdown was winding down in late Oct, L Co was pulled out of 3d BN to retake Outpost Dale. One vet stated he had been wounded while in L Co during Showdown (about 14 Oct)...he stated he lost several buddies in L Co when they they were sent to Dale. 28 Oct covered that time period but cannot find any info of Dale/1952.

Comments: My grandpa Tom “Tomcat” Lynn passed away a year before my son was born. My son turns 16 this Feb. My grandpa didn’t tell much about his military life. I didn’t know he served until he showed up for my graduation from Parris Island. He only said one thing. “None of you would be here if it weren’t for the Marines. I hope that you never and I hope that you do repay that debt.” I’ve learned through his military records that he was part of Task Force Faith and then attached to 31/7. My question to those that may know isn’t about what happened. I respect his silence. Mine is silly. He had a half Rabbit, half Gator tattoo. I know it has some meaning from that time, but I’ve never seen another or even found a reference! If anyone can enlighten me, I would surely appreciate it.

His birth name is Stanley Dean Debrick, From what I see in his military records; He is listed as Dean S, he was not fond of the name Stanley and was always known as Dean. He never talked about his Army service, I believe it really affected him. From what I know he was a forward observer, had 2 purple hearts, 31st Infantry Regt - 7th Div. and was Evc 07/04/1952. He passed away in 1977 at the age of 49 from Hodgkin's and leukemia. After he passed we found paperwork for awards not recieved. Although he died over 40 years ago, I've always wanted to find out more about his sacrifice and service. Pork Chop Hill sound familiar. He did save some pictures the rest I have been trying to piece together. Thanks in Advance!

Comments: My Pappaw, Melvin B. Christman, passed away at the end of 2014. He shared many stories with us over the years, but we never knew the extent of what he actually did in Korea until he had passed and we went through his belongings. We found a Bronze Star, paperwork for a Silver Star, and many other medals we never knew he had earned. I am hoping to find any information I can, and would appreciate whatever help I can get! He was in Korea sometime between 50-52, a Sergeant First Class with the 7th Division 31st Infantry Regiment Polar Bears, E (Easy) Company 4th Platoon. He was chosen to lead a group to Heartbreak Ridge, spoke of leaving at night and giving a password to someone, and one of the guys he took Basic Training with, who also made Sergeant First Class, was with him. We have a picture of he and maybe 5-10 other soldiers raising a flag on a hill that I cannot remember the name of. He also mentioned he was on Pork Chop Hill. Please, if anyone can help us learn more about this amazing man that we miss dearly, we would be eternally grateful!

Comments: I've received my dad's military records well what wasn't burned up completely or damaged in the fire of July 12,1973. The letter states his records were in the area that suffered the most damage from the fire. So I only received a portion of his records and some is of poor quality. I know there is some missing just from what my brother has said he has our dad gave him. I've also got tons of pictures from there. I've got pictures of Mariyln Monroe at the 7th United States Infantry Division Bayonet Bowl also. I didn't even know it was her!! I was all holy crap I've got pictures of Marilyn Monroe that's so awesome!! I've got picture of so many other military members like one named PFC. Lanchans and SP3. Blust. My dad was born April 3,1934 and he passed away March 20,2007. He's from Ellijay,Ga. Also he lived and served in reserve in Yipsilanti, Michigan and Ann Arbor, Michigan. He was at Camp Casey from April 19,1957-July 13,1958. I was told he was in Korea around 1953-1954 and also that he was a POW during the cease fire time. I'm so confused about all of it. I need some help can anyone clear up rather anyone was actually really a POW during cease fire time. My dad wouldn't tell me a thing just he was in the army and over in Korea during the war. So I'm wondering if he actually was there earlier than what the NPRC sent to me. It's just weird that his was in the worst part of the fire and I was told he was a POW but that not even his parents knew he was missing what so ever. It's probably just a coincidence. He was also 6'3-6'4 tall his name was Kenneth Eugene Pettit. I've got his army 7th div. drivers test team apo7 license both of his fooive service cards, his domain of the golden dragon member of the 180th Meridian card. I've also got his dog tags and his class ring. I love my family history. I've also got all of these pictures of tons of women too. I mean a bunch of them. It's so neat to read such amazing stories of people who lived and died before even my dad and even my grandma was born. I also love the movies based on true stories and actual real events involving people during the wars like the movie Imitation Game, Windtalkers, Unbroken, and Hacksaw Ridge. It's bone chilling to know what those men went through to survive and to know what they did to make them the heros they truly are and such an inspiration to me in always being strong, to never break, and above all else to never give up no matter what that if those men can survive and do the courageous things they did for our country then how can I knowingly give up on something so trivial and how can I let myself break under basically not even tiny bit of pressure compared to the hardships they endured. I was so shocked and just in absolute aww of the guy in Hacksaw Ridge who saved so very many lives with not even a weapon at all. I was just so amazed and uterly speechless and so proud and honored to be able to call myself a fellow American to these amazing people. I am so disappointed and disgusted and have no respect for how our very own government and also other fellow Americans treat our veterans. I'm heartbroken over how much disrespect they get in this day and time. We have fallen so very far and have become such a disgrace as a nation. I'm truly and have never in my life been so ashamed of my fellow Americans as I have become now. I just hope one day they all wake up and see the big picture right there in front of them and they give y'all awesome men and women the massive respect and honor and assistance y'all deserve and have God given right to!! I'm so sorry this has become so long. If anyone has any information they think may help me feel free to email me at: stover.hope@yahoo.com thank you for you're precious and very valuable time.

Comments: I am looking for any information on PFC Charles Eden. He was in the US ARMY - 31st Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division, he enlisted on 3/26/1952, just after his 18th birthday, from Wayne, Passiac County, NJ. He was KIA while fighting the enemy in North Korea, January 12, 1953, he didn't see his 19th birthday. I don't know where he was killed, in what battle, I know he was there for the 3rd Korean Winter dated December 1952 thru April, 1953.

For too many families, this is a common story, our sons and daughters growing up so fast, becoming men and women, dying before their time. As the stone plaque at the Korean War Memorial in Washington, D.C. says, Our nation honors her sons and daughters who answered the call to defend a country they never knew and a people they never met.

I am putting together a memorial box for my mother and uncle. As time goes by, they are talking about him more often, for a long time, they didn't talk about him, perhaps it has been too painful. Unfortunately, he was killed before I was born, so I have nothing but the information I have gathered doing research. Any information that my maternal grandparents may have received, over the years, has been lost. I am taking her for her birthday to Arlington National Cemetery to visit his marker, for his birthday, they were born 4 years and 4 days apart. It is important for her to go, for her to remember, for me to remember, for all of us to remember.

So, if there is anyone with anything, photos, information, a conversation that they might have had with my uncle, Charles Eden, please contact me.

Thank you, Merry Christmas, and may God Bless you and your family.

Comments: I arrived in Korea early part of 1953 and hope someone remember's the jeep accident.
Apparently I was treated at the aid station [regimental ? ] and sent back to my unit.
Nothing was entered in the records, we had so many badly injured . Possibly the staff
was so overwhelmed with casualties nothing was recorded in my chart if they were being used.

Keywords: Old Baldy and vicinity of Pork Chop Hill.

Comments: I have some pictures which I have been trying to locate the owner and return them to him for years.had thought his name was Bill Davis,but over the time I may have gotten his name wrong.
he joined my unit before I rotated back to the states from Korea in July 1951.
he gave me the roll of film he had taken up just before leaving home,which was the Chicago area.and I believe the northern suburbs.if it,s too late for him to get them,I,m sure his family would like to receive them.
some areas in the pictures are identifiable.but of course most areas change over the years.
would really appreciate any help.
