Comments: My dad served two tours in Korea. The first was from
Sept 1950 to Dec 1951. The second time from Sept 1959
to Sept 1960. According to his DD214, he participated
in the UN Offensive, CCF Interventino, First UN
Counter Offensive, CCR Spring Offensive and the Second
Korean Winter.
I know his unit received the Distinguished Emblem near
the front in Korea. He was the squad leader for
Company I.
I would like to know more about his time in Korea.
Even if you didn't know my father, I could use some
help just knowing where to look for records of his
squad.
Please know that any help is greatly appreciated.

Comments: Greetings all--
I am in search of any and all men who served in the 7th Division, 32nd
Infantry -- but specifically Co. D.
I am in the process of researching for a book on a man who did not
make it home from Korea who served in that particular unit. His name
was James B. Sanders -- he was from Arkansas -- and he was with the
32nd from Inchon through Chosin, where he went missing. The official
report, filed in 1955 after a body was sent home, was that he was KIA
in the fighting around Chosin, but there is evidence that that is not so.
I am looking for anyone who may have known him, or anyone in the
unit who could fill me in on what was happening on the peninsula at
that time. It would greatly help my research to have first person
accounts of the conditions on the field. The human factor is the most
important aspect of a story -- especially the one I am trying to tell.
Please get in contact with me, if you can help -- I would greatly
appreciate it.

the train was stopped for supplies(?) early one
mornig when Cullen said he could see his mother's
house. ( He was not allowed to visit her)
On arrival at Fort Ord they were shipped north to
Washinton State to supervise training for the
Illinois Nat. Guard and back to Fort Ord for
overseas deployment. They arrived in Korea in
January 1953 in the 7th Infantry 31st or 32nd
Charlie Company. (Cullen passed away afew years
ago in Memphis after returning.
My dad saw service on Old Baldy and with the
quatermaster corps at Head Quarters after or
before combat duty. He only had a very few
days left when the so called peace treaty was
signed and his time accumulated slower requiring him
to be on the line till November 1953.
After shipping out he was assigned to a base in
Arkansas and rode the SANTA CLAUSE EXPRESS
train to be home for Christmas that year.
If anyone remembers him or was stationed there
from January to November 1953 please feel free

We think he was part of Task Force Faith, and survived extreme cold and overwhelming enemy forces for several days untill the breakout attempt.
He would likely have been gaurding the left flank of a convoy of trucks loaded with 500 wounded soldiers and led by Col. Don Faith at the time of his death.
His remains have never been found or identified like so many others on the east side of the frozen chosin.

Comments: Hi, my grandfather served with the 32nd from 1943 until
mid Oct 1945. His name was Mike Williams from Minnesota.
I have done research on his unit and found alot of info
where his unit served and battles fought. I just recently
got stationed in Korea and I am curious to get
information about when his unit was sent to Korea after
the Japanese surrender. If there is anyone whom was
serving during that same period or knows info about his
unit I would appeciate everything you have to offer.
Thanks

Comments: Looking for anyone who may have served with my father. He passed in 2007. He had a major stroke in 1980 when I was only 10. My father carried a heavy load on his shoulders and I suspect that a lot of it came from his service. He never talked about it. Even if there is nobody out there that served with him, I would be very appreciative of the perspective of the war from anyone who served during that same time. Kermit was injured on 12-1-50, from my understanding he was shot trying to avoid being captured and had a severe back injury. He later recovered and went back in until he was honorably discharged in 52. I loved him very much and would appreciate anyone who could shed light on what those men and women endured. Thank you.

Comments: I am trying to see if I can locate anyone who might remember a William "Bill" Faulkner from the 32nd. I am a Marine Vet and Paramedic, Mr. Faulker is a patient that I have made a connection with and have begun to visit on my off days. We have a great time and even on is bad days he remembers only me as his "Marine Buddy" even when he can recall much else. He has trouble here and there and is only able to communicate to me that he was in the 32nd Inf and 7th Inf in Korea. I am assuming he means the 7th Inf Div and the 32 Inf Reg. His eyes light up everytime we speak about Korea and I would love to bring some history for him the next time I make a visit.
Here is the problem, his sons say he is a Marine but I can find no history of unit with the 32nd designation in the Marine Archives. The 7th Marine Reg was there but with no 32nd anything to be found elsewhere. If anyone might be able to help it would be greatly appreciated. We communicate mostly through short sentences and pointing so it can be tough to get focused in on the details. Regardless of him being a Marine or not he wants to talk anout it and I'd love to help him, he has become a good friend to me.
By the way, even though we have our communication issues, I went for a visit the other day and he was on the roof cleaning off the leaves, he had also cut the lawn 1 and 1/2 acres, here's the kicker we live in Florida and the Heat index was 108 that day.

Comments: My father, Roy Starnes from Illinois, is anxiously looking for any of the fine men he served with in Korea. My dad was a machine gunner, and for years he wouldn't speak of his time in the service, but in the past few years he has been looking back and wondering about where all of the men he fought with are. Still living? He doesn't remember many of the names because so many had nicknames, and sadly, so many he knew for such a short time. He was there at the Inchon landing on Sept 17th, fought at the Chosin Reservoir and in Seoul. The names he can remember are Robert Best, who he has a picture of sitting with him drinking a beer! Garland Taulbee is who he speeks of often. And Wayne Shaw, who he believes to be from Illinois. He speaks of a man they called "the old soldier" (Walter he believes was his first name) who died in combat. Major Jones was his company commander. IF any of this rings a bell for anyone out there, please e-mail me. My father is 79, and I am would love for him to be able to learn what became of the men he fought with. He hates that he can't remember more, but after many years of trying to forget it is very understandable. Thanks so much for the service you or your loved one has given to us all, and I hope to hear from someone who wants to reunite with an old soldier, even if it is just to be able to remember.

Comments: I would like to know if anyone knew my father, Carmine Angelo Iannitti. He was a sargent. He never spoke of the Korean Conflict much. He was wounded by a mortar. He received the Purple Heart, Sharpshooter, and other medals. None of which I was aware of until after his passing. He did say, his nickname was "Jesse James".
